B- Tiger muskie are an ambush predator and like to hang around structure looking for prey. I have never see any instances of them suspending out over deep water where most salmon live. I am no expert on this so I could be wrong.
C- After watching the way the tiger muskie had made a home in Pineview and seeing that they have done very little to change the population of the perch and crappie there it wouldn't seem that the salmon would have much to worry about unless they spent a lot of time by the shoreline.
Many tiger muskie, at Pineview, are caught trolling over the deep open water. Many anglers believe that they can only be caught by trolling along the shoreline, but this is not correct.
Kent is correct, the Muskie will follow the food source. Open water and along the shore in ambush mode
