Yeah the state stocks them in a few lakes. Quincy lake in the Quincy lake area has them.

Post by: Armadillo on August 21, 2009, 09:19:19 AM: A few lakes up in Okanogan county have been planted with these also

Post by: MtnMuley on August 21, 2009, 10:28:25 AM: Supposedly most of the the lakes in Okanogan County that used to be stocked with tigers, have been switched to triploid eastern brook. I don't think the tigers did too well in many of the lakes they stalked. The triploid easterns seem to be faring pretty well though.

Post by: Happy Gilmore on August 21, 2009, 03:08:34 PM: I saw the State Record Tiger a few years ago. The guy who caught it goes up to Blue Lake(Conc) every year the same time my group is there. He caught it in some little lake on the hill above Sinlehekin. Not sure his record still stands but, I saw him celebrating in Conconully and the fish was HUGE!

I caught my first one in Connor pond (stump pond)near Loomis about 5 years ago. More brown in that lake...really cool looking.

Really cool fish, wouldn't mind catching one.
