For those of you who are new I thought I would take a moment to introduce myself.

My name is Stacie and I work for Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife in Southewest Washington (Region 5). I work in the Inland Fish Program with resident fish (trout, warmwater fish and grass carp). I cover six counties: Clark, Cowlitz, Klickitat, Lewis, Skamania and Whakiakum.

I try and check out the forum to help anglers who may have questions on lakes, fish species or anything else that pertains to fishing.

With my field work sometimes I miss a few days checking in here so, if you would like to contact me directly you may email me at kelsyslk@dfw.wa.gov or you may call me at (360) 906-6706.

Looking forward to helping in any way I can!

Hi Stacie,
Too bad other regions don't have helpful representatives such as yourself...

A have a general question that I often wonder about. How come I can readily find info on trout stocking, but I've never come accross any stocking info on warm water species? Any idea why this is?

Thanks for the info,
Chad

Stacie, great to see you on the forum again. It's been a while since we've seen the name. How's the horse doing? Look forward to your comments.

Thanks Chad.

I think there are a lot of people that maybe don't know of this as a resource. Fortunately, my boss is big on public relations and encourages me to utilize the internet to get our information out.

As far as warmwater stocking goes, I am not sure why that information isn't on the website. We only have one lake that we currently stock warmwater fish in and that is Kress Lake. Actually there were several hundred channel cats that went in last week.

It could be that there isn't any warmwater stocking going on in the other regions. That is a good question. I will email the Oly guys and ask about that.

Take care!

Hey Micro:

check out this link and you can see a picture of me and Solon. He is much bigger and I have dark hair now, but it'll give you an idea!!
