Havn't heard that one yet but I suppose its possible that someone could have dropped in a few but I'm doubtful

Not unless it's the work of a bucket biologist. If anyone does get one or sights one - please call me ASAP.

Keep the fish fresh as possible if you do catch one.

My guess would be that someone caught a fish they thought was a laker when in fact it was actually a dolly or bull trout. There was/is a similar rumor for Lake Washington and Sammamish and I know the system has a few of these fish left in it.
Edit: If you do catch a fish that you think is a laker in Riffe, make darn sure it isn't a bull or a dolly, they are protected and must be released unharmed.
