Rule Change Recommendation Short Title
• See comments Rules Category
Puget Sound Region Freshwater Type of Rule Change Proposal
Recreational County or Location Information
Pierce County Short Description
Eliminate this lake as an opening day water and make it a year-round fishery.
Explanation
In 2011, WDFW adipose clipped the catchable rainbow trout stocked into Ohop Lake to determine if fish were entraining out of the lake into the Nisqually River. Shortly after being stocked, adipose clipped rainbow trout were detected at the downstream smolt trap in the Nisqually River. In 2012, WDFW increased the mean size of the rainbow trout stocked into Ohop Lake in an attempt to reduce entrainment. No hatchery fish were detected at the downstream trap in 2012. Because larger fish are more expensive, WDFW will not be able to stock larger fish at a high enough density to reach the harvest goal desired for lakes managed with trout for opening day. This change will also increase the opportunity for fall and winter trout and warmwater fishing in South Sound. Original Rule Proposal Number(s)

in the past when the lake was open year-round, there were far more winter time burgleries and breakins on non year round residences.people would go along the lakeshore by boat ,spot a vacant residence and load the boat ,so to speak. I do NOT reccomend changing. REYNOLDS, MARTY December 23, 2012
