Nile Lake (23 acres): Eastern brook trout fry plants produce 8-inch yearlings and 14-inch carry-overs here. Rainbows are frequent catches, too. Pumpkinseed sunfish are a problem with fish growth and availability. Nile is located 5 miles southwest of Tiger, adjacent to Highway 20. Small boats can be launched from shore.

Nina Lake lies west of Interstate 5 just north of the Tulalip Reservation. The lake is man-made—it was excavated in the 1970s.

Ohop Lake, Pierce County: 235 acres, 2 1/4 miles long. This lake is next door to Clear lake about 1 1/2 miles north of Eatonville off Hwy 161. It holds a variety of spiny ray including bass, crappie and perch. It also holds rainbows and cutthroat. This is a semi-developed lake with lots of trees on the surrounding hillsides. There is a concrete public ramp of excellent quality (no pier) and could handle boats to 20 foot easily. Ample parking. The shoreline of this lake looks like it was made for bass and crappie fishing with lots of cover and lilly pads to cast to. One concern is due to the long, narrow shape of the lake waterskiers could quickly stir up the water. Still, the lake seems big enough to accommodate all.
