Alot of lakes have been stocked in the past with muskie. Chatfield was one of them. My understanding from the DOW is it has not been stocked with them in several years. So any muskie you might hook should be
BIG. The same goes for many other lakes. So I would not be surprised if there are muskie in Arbor.
Follow this link to all Colorado Waters that were stocked with Tiger Muskie until 2001

Below is an excerpt from an email I sent to the DOW about Muskie stocking for this and last year.
