There has been no interruption of musky stocking in the TFF, and the 2009 survey confirmed that there is still no significant natural reproduction occurring - in fact, they didn't sample any naturally produced fish. The TFF currently receives 2500 large fingerlings in even years - this has been the per-lake limit in recent years due to hatchery production constraints. We're due again this fall. Trude Lake is stocked at the standard rate of 1 large fingerling per acre in odd years.

Stocking data for all Wisconsin lakes is available here - note that the TFF is split into two listings:

There is no population estimate available, because the DNR did not perform mark-recapture studies on muskies as they did with the walleyes. They just did a few days of fyke netting to look at the size structure. I have the raw data, and there's not much more detail than what you'll get from reading the summary in Tom's link.

I haven't fished that side of the lake in years, but with the water back up and the new bridge at Merkle, I'll definitely be heading back over there soon to hit the areas around Fourmile Creek and the Trude Lake outlet.
