Washington is NUMBER 1

Post by Lotech Joe » Sun Jul 06, 2008 2:29 pm

Here is a pretty cool article that appeared in the Spokesman Review in Spokane. It looks like we are #1 in the country for caught and released Tiger Muskies. :cheers: :cheers:

L J,
Can't view it without being a member and it looks like there's a fee also.

Tench are a bottom-feeding member of the carp family imported from Europe that WDFW considers an invasive aquatic species.

To add to this and the tench topic. I have seen fewer tench caught and have heard that from the docks on silver (Ruby's and Picnic Pines) people are catching fewer tench! This would be exactly why they were placed in the lake! From what I have heard, Silver used to be great for brown trout and they blame the tench for it being not so great anymore. Silver's muskies are growing. I have seen some pretty good ones this year. I have also seen the recent newcomers to the lake. I caught one the other evening that I could hold around the body with one hand while I unhooked it with the other.
