A small amount of tiger's were planted in Fazon back in the '90's.  Not sure if they made it and if any still exist.

I heard that upper and lower Granite lakes have them. I haven't fished them to know though.

Ive heard the rumors to of tiger fish being caught there but have not met anyone who has actually caught one. They are also in squalicum lake off of Mt. Baker highway but its fly fishing only.

man that would be a kick !!  I would use a "Bunny Leach" or "Clouser Minnow", and probably get my a$$ handed to me, but wow!!

Dude are you for reals, who told you that? Been there fished those lakes. Nope, those lakes have rainbows, cutts, and lower has Grayling. Pack a weapon if you plan on going in there, lots of predators in there.

 Graylings aren't supposed to come out of the water if I remember correctly.

Fazon definetly has Tiger Muskie.  My friend hooked into a huge fish there so I started filming and we landed it, it was about a 30" Tiger Muskie pretty cool!  This was probably about 8 years ago tho.....

 I think I got them backwards I hiked into the larger Granite Lake from Upper Jorden Lake.  Is Lower Granite at a higher elevation than Upper Granite?

Depends on the map you read, washington trails asst. map says the larger Granite lake that is lower in elevation is the upper one, and the smaller higher one in elevation is the lower one. And vice versa on other maps.

i know that Newman Lake has an abundance of Tiger Musky which is just north of Spokane.  the following is a link to water access points and on the right hand side of the page tells you what species are in that body of water.  Hope that helps.
