This past weekend was our season opening Tournament on Mayfield Lake with 17 anglers coming out to participate. Many of us linked up Friday evening for dinner and some
story telling around the campfire before retiring for the
night.
Saturday morning we woke to less than perfect weather as we dealt with cool
temperatures and rain before the sun began to shine though. The lake itself
wasn't much warmer with the average temp being in the mid 40's for most of
the day. All this combined with some stained water lead to some SLOW fishing
without many opportunities. We pushed hard all day but in the end our good
friend Mike Floyd was the only one able to find a tiger that was willing to
take a chance and thus won the tournament with a good looking 37.75 Muskie.
Mike also took home big fish honors along with a $50 gift certificate
donated by our friend Ken from the Viking Café in Mossyrock.
Even though the weather and the Muskies didn't cooperate as I would have
liked, it was sure great to see everyone again and to get back out on the
water. I want to thank all those that came out in support of this event and
I appreciated the positive feedback I received about our Chapter. Now we all
can look forward to some warmer weather ahead and start making planes for
Lake Tapps in June.
Thanks again everyone

The goals of the Chapter are to promote Tiger Muskie Fishing in the great Northwest, provide information and services to tiger muskie anglers, promote Catch, Photo and Release (CPR) where it is appropriate and to provide information to other groups about the benefits of having the sterile Tiger Muskie in Northwest lakes, as well as the proper way to handle a muskie if one is caught.
Muskies, Inc. is a National organization, started in 1966 in Minnesota. We are their 57th Chapter. We, like them, are a non-profit
501c3 and our Chapter was started in May of 2007. We are the 1st Chapter in WA., and now we have been joined by yet another fine M.I. Chapter: #60 in Spokane; the Mountain
Muskies.
Chapter #57 President, Norm Dillon, presents a $1,500 check to Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife, Warmwater Program Manager, Bruce Bolding.
