New Musky Lake Update

Post by Don Wittenberger » Thu Jun 07, 2012 11:37 am

A WDFW Region 4 team is now doing lake surveys to identify a suitable lake north of Seattle for tiger muskies. At this time, Samish Lake appears to be the leading candidate, but it's premature to say it -- or any lake -- will be determined suitable. Stevens Lake is also on WDFW's radar, along with a couple other unnameds. If a suitable lake is found, WDFW's current timeline for the initial stocking is spring of 2014.

THanks Don.....

I hope something is found suitable soon, as 2014 wouldn't be fisable until several years after. At least we are moving in the right direction.

finger crossed...

Trust me, the next 5 years will go by faster than you imagine. You'll be on social security before you can blink. Seriously, we're looking beyond our own fishing careers and doing this for our kids and grandkids.
