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

Coho salmon, rainbow trout and cuttroat 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 biological control for the undesirable pike minnow population.

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

If fishing is your pleasure, Mayfield Lake provides a premiere recreation spot. Anglers especially appreciate the many types of fish found here. Chinook, coho, largemouth bass, rainbow trout, cutthroat trout, yellow perch and smallmouth bass are popular catches.

Fishing is open year-round at Mayfield Lake. Mayfield is stocked with rainbow trout and coho salmon.

Swofford Pond
The 240-acre Swofford Pond is stocked with rainbow, brown and cutthroat trout. The pond also has largemouth bass, channel catfish and bluegill. Swofford Pond is off-limits to gasoline powered motors.

Cowlitz River at Blue Creek and Barrier Dam
The Cowlitz River is renowned as one of the finest steelhead rivers in Washington State. It also is popular for coho and other salmon fishing. See the Cowlitz Fish Report for current fishing information.

Call our toll free Fishing and Recreation Line number, 1-888-502-8690 for recorded information on river flows, lake levels and usability of boat ramps on the lakes.

Tacoma Power owns and maintains these sites. The Interagency Committee for Outdoor Recreation and the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife helped Tacoma Power develop these popular recreation sites.
