Tapps lake in Pierce is turning into a premier hybred tiger muskie lake. Mayfield, farther south, Green, Curlew, Merwin (Cowlitz)... I know I'm missing a few. You can read specific reports and view pictures over at
www.WashingtonLakes.com. No pike I know of except as mentioned in eastern Washington - I believe there are pike in the Pend O'Reille river system.
These tiger muskies don't reproduce so please consider catch and release.
I would mention
(bass) but it seems everytime someone says
(bass) guys get all mocking and stuff. But I have come to enjoy the quiet solitude of electirc motoring between peoples docks and catching them (the bass, that is). No competition to speak of (certainly nothing like steelheading or salmon fishing rivers). Plus, the thirst for new lures is never-ending.
