Maybe someone will step up and indicate where they've seen fish in the past. I'd start in those areas and use basic pike tactics. Ice fishing for tiger muskie's is a challenge. Good luck and let us know how you do.

Muskies, unlike pike, are technically warmwater species. Pike are coolwater species. Therefore, Muskies are very slow and inactive under the ice, like bass (another warmwater specie), and Pike are very active under the ice, like walleye and perch (other coolwater species).

Then again, I caught some bass at Chatfield Ponds today so it's definitely possible. I would hang suckers below tip ups in places where you commonly see them in the summer. Good luck!
