March 6, 2015
Action: Closes Lake Tapps to fishing.
Effective Dates: March 10, 2015 until further notice.
Species affected: All fish
Location: Lake Tapps (Pierce Co.)
Reason for action: Water levels in the lake have been drawn down and fish are concentrated in small pools. Leaving the lake open will be detrimental to the fish communities in these small pools. The lake is being closed to prevent excessive harvest of the fish in the lake and to improve the quality of the fishery after the lake refills. The lake will re-open once lake levels are sufficient to sustain a fishery.
