When do they start?

Post by beerbohm » Tue May 13, 2008 9:59 am

I have never caught a tiger and this year I plan on remeding that problem. My question is when is the season/bite on?

It depends on where you fish. For the deep, cold, western Washington reservoirs (Mayfield and Merwin) I'd say mid to late June, but I think you could fish Lake Tapps now.

The Tapps bite is warming up. Since your out east,I'd try getting a hold of (muskie guy) he's very familiar with the muskie waters in the area.

You can catch them on Merwin now, too. I got one a couple weeks ago and missed another.

I went out 5/3/08 to Silver. No luck in spotting anything. Water was still pretty cool, 50 degrees. It is now starting to warm up.

Our 5 year old grandson pulled a 2 footer to the boat and after he got a good look at it it shook and threw the lure. He caught it trolling a black and gold jointed rapala. We were out last Friday the 9th.
