On the water around 10AM. Water temps ranged from 47-49.5 degrees. Much to my surprise, found a some healthy weedbeds at various locations. Found many muskies suspended off points ranging in depths from 8 feet-20 feet of water. Had a nice follow from a 40 inch musky working a Bulldawg off a rocky point. The smallies were also very active.

Remember the WDFW rules, 50 inch minimum on tiger muskies.

sounds like fun! I might have to visit my old stomping grounds again soon. I still remember the dry lake bed perfectly from motorcycle riding the empty lake as a kid!

Ive been told twice now, that those muskies are invasive, and you're supposed to kill all of them you catch! I of coarse corrected them, but I sure wish there was more info posted about these fish around the lakes that there stocked in.

Agreed. With northerns now being in Lake Washington, I assume many tigers will get killed due to misidentification.
