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.
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.

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

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

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?
Post by: Boss .300 winmag on March 13, 2011, 08:53:34 PM
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.

STKNSTRINGBOW, they have them right there by you in Mayfield Lake. It is a blast to catch them, biggest one so far has been 48inches. They changed the law a couple of years ago to 50 inch plus now.

I was just saying what a blast it would be on a fly-rod (actually pictured Fly-rod and a float-tube)
Unfortunately ever since my kids came along I dont get the time to do my own fishing any more, when taking them out, we gotta catch something (no more 1000 cast days)

Tapps you do have a better chance of catching one, but the jetskiers and waterskiers outweigh that option for me. They are a blast to catch on the fly rod. If you do try it, look at Dahlbergs fly selection. It is great. I agree not having all the time in the world now that kids have come along. I have been on mayfield and got 4 in one day and had about 10 other followers. So it can get pretty fun there also.

Can scare the crap out of you when they first hit a ultra light pole trolling. :)

Twice we have hooked into tigers while fishing 4lb test for trout on Mayfield. It makes for an intense minute or two before they snap off, lol. I never have got one close to the boat though.

Yep that would be a fun time...
