Lake Fishery

Tacoma Power funds the stocking of fish in Riffe and Mayfield lakes to improve the overall sport fishing.

Coho salmon, rainbow trout and cutthroat trout can be found in Riffe Lake. Here they live with landlocked coho and Chinook salmon, cutthroat, rainbow and brown trout, as well as crappie, largemouth and smallmouth bass, brown bullhead and bluegill.

Most of the same species can be found in Mayfield Lake with one addition. The tiger muskie was planted in 1988 to see how well it would survive as a sport fish and for biological control of the undesirable pike minnow population.

The 240-acre Swofford Pond (link) is stocked with rainbow, brown and cutthroat trout, plus naturally occurring largemouth bass, channel catfish and bluegill.
