Tigers in west pond?
Post By: coloradodonkey      Posted: 6/4/2012 10:07:30 PM     Points: 101    
Just wondering if anyone has heard of tiger muskies being caught recently. It says they stocked it in '03 to control the carp.

I talked with the biologist for the area just a couple months ago and asked him about the tiger muskie in the west pond. Here is his response:

"Some tigers were stocked in the west pond in 2003 but cormorants and pelicans took their toll just after stocking. I have not seen any tigers in the west lake since. The west lake was the only lake and only year that CPW stocked tigers at ETV"

A fishing buddy on here witnessed a small tiger muskie being caught this year in the east pond but I believe that was a fluke.

Thanks for your input guys. I kinda thought that there were not many in there because I have never seen anyone fishing them over there. Only the carp. It would be fun to have somewhere that close to home for muskies though.
