When DWR biologists surveyed Bullock Reservoir in June, they caught one-year-old tigers that were around 15 inches long.

This fish had grown 35 inches from when it was stocked four years ago. Anglers can find tiger musky in Pineview, Bullock and Cottonwood reservoirs, and in Johnson Reservoir in southwestern Utah. A catch and release regulation-one fish over 40 inches-is in place at all of these reservoirs to protect their small tiger musky populations. All other tigers must be released immediately.
