Bluewater Lake State Park Tiger Muskies

Fly Fishing for Tiger Muskie in Washington

When you think tiger muskie, Washington is probably not the first place that comes to mind.

The perch killers arrived at Phillips Reservoir under cover of night

All 25,000 of them.

A truck emptied its cargo of juvenile tiger muskies, a sterile hybrid fish with an insatiable appetite, into the Baker County reservoir Tuesday evening.

Officials from the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife hope the voracious tiger muskies will end the nearly 20-year reign of yellow perch in a reservoir that used to be one of the prime rainbow trout-fishing spots in Eastern Oregon.

June SOTM Entry: WA Tiger Muskie

James Harrington with a Western WA tiger muskie.  I've been to this very bay a few times only to be finned.  Looks like B2 and I need to dust off the Natives.
