User input for Tanwax Lake, Northern Cascade Range, Pierce County, Washington:
Eric Watson: The area for swimming wasnt much. However, I was there to get some lily pad roots for my pond. With the roots later hatched about 8 fish. They are over a year old but in a small pond with gold fish they did not grow more than an inch. I cannot identify the fish since they are about an inch long. However, they have a single long dorsal fin that ends close to the small tain fin. Does not show any stripes or trout colors. But grey in color. The pond drained to about 4 inches after I removed some. However, 2 remained in the mucky water which did not have any aireation. They are now in my indoor fish tank and get along well with the larger gold fish. What are they??
Randy: Went to Tanwax Saturday, June 14, 2008. Put in at 8am. Trolled the shores and the middle with wedding rings, worms and bobbers, and several other spinners. Fished 6 hours and caught 1 small bass on live worms, the wife caught to undersized trout on wedding ring and nightcrawler. I fished for bass in the weeds and around bushes and the docks and zippo. It was kind of cold...we could see our breath in the morning. Going to try Kapowsin Lake next weekend.
