Youth-only Mill Pond will open to fishing by senior citizens
possessing a freshwater fishing license for June 28, 2003

Action: Temporarily suspend the juvenile only fishing regulation at Mill Pond near Auburn on June 28th, 2003 to allow licensed citizens 55 years of age and older to participate in a fishing derby sponsored by the Green River Steelhead and Trout Club and the City of Auburn.

Effective date: June 28, 2003

Species affected: Rainbow Trout
