Pike fishing in Oregon

tiger muskies have failed as a managment tool in almost every body of water that it has been attempted in, in Newman lake washington the tiger muskies finished off the remaining trout population while the bass and perch flourished and the 3 seem to be living in perfect harmony... the muskies prefered frogs, newts, and even waterfowl over the perch.

The pikeminnow bounty continues through 2010. As for the perch problem, I think a couple largemouth would fix it! Course they bring the same "problems" as any other non-native fish, but they're good eating and a lot more fun to catch than 6" perch.

- I have only been awake for about 45 min. and you have just ade my day. A du-pont nascar jacket... ...that's money, money I tell ya!

Why you gotta make fun of my jacket????

If you want tiger muskies just head up to Lake Mayfeild in Washington. It's only about an hour and a half away from Portland! As far as putting them in Oregon waters... I'd say put them in a ponds that already have warm water fish and that don't have a way for them to migrate to other water. On the other hand, you could just realize that we can't have every kind of fish in our back yard and that we should be thankful for what we do have!
If it ain't broke...
