Puget Sound Region Freshwater Type of Rule Change Proposal
Recreational County or Location Information
Thurston County Short Description
Eliminate this lake as an opening day water and make it a year-round fishery. Explanation
Several lakes are located within the city limits of Lacey and Olympia but most are managed as Opening Day trout fisheries. Opening this lake year-round offers a fishing opportunity in a downtown setting where none currently exists. Additionally, hatcheries are having a difficult time getting all of the fish into lakes within a few weeks of the opener. This change would give hatchery staff flexibility when stocking year-round waters and could reduce predation by birds by stocking the other opening day managed waters closer to the opener. The lake also offers excellent fishing for warmwater fish that could be targeted year-round. Original Rule Proposal Number(s)
