Northwest Fishing Reports

Last weekend at the Kosmos boat launch at Riffe Lake, we saw the carcass of a sturgeon that had been cleaned at the boat launch. Are there sturgeon in the lake?

Havent heard of sturgeon in there. Its deep as all get out but im sure its from a river somewhere and dumped.

I have seen sturgeon carcass at blue creek, well undersized too.

The one at Kosmos wasn't a big one either. Not sure if it would have been undersized or not, but definetly on the small side of legal.

might be out of Swafford pond. who knows what wdfw has put in there.

Not to take anyone's dreams away, but there was a similar happening as this one, a few years ago where someone fileted their sturgeon carcass from a Columbia trip, and then dropped it at a boat launch of some other lake.... Got everybody into a buzz about Sturgeon in that lake.
Who knows, maybe somebody is playing a trick on people. Or maybe you need to pull out the sturgeon gear at Riffe.

hard to say but I wouldn't be surprised if a sturgeon was cruising Riffe from either bucket(big bucket)bios or other methods. There's at least one sturgeon roaming Lake Tapps

Several years ago, a friend of mine had gone fishing out of Westport and caught a few nice Kings. On the way home, he had his wife let him out on the highway by Rimrock Lake and he walked down the highway with a couple of those salmon. People driving by would almost run off the road looking at those fish. LOL I am sure he tricked quit a few people into believing that those big fish came out of Rimrock.

A buddy of mine was up there at the dam he said he seen a bunch of fish in schools and something that was about 5 feet long , this funny he just brought it up the other day

Say what? There is a sturgeon in tapps?

Have you seen it?

A few years back I was bass fishing Alder Lake. In about ten feet of water I saw the white belly of a very large fish laying dead on the bottom. It looked like a shark, so finally I put a weighted hook down and snagged it. Turns out it was a salt water dog fish. Obviously, it was not native. How it got in the lake, only the Lord knows. But the answer may be the same for the suspect sturgeon.

They were put there by.......Aliens.
