The WDFW finally opens up the lake for a 10-day season starting on the 10th.

Geeeeezzz it took them long enough! Those fish are going to be red by the time they are caught.

Two per day limit, min. 16" keep only fish with the adipose fin. Fish without the adipose fin are imbedded with a radio transmitter for monitoring migration so you gotta let them keep on going.

Cool, I could even go next weekend. I would expect these fish will fall to the same gear as the Lake Washington sockeye? Very tempting to drive over and give them a try. Release the clipped fish - now that's going to be backwards!
