Northwest Fishing Reports

I searched the WDFW and can't find the 2016 lowland lakes opening date. What is it? Thanks

4th Sat. in April. Look at the specific lakes that are lowland lakes and the 4th Sat in April comes up as the opener.

and no stocking dates either. what the heck are we paying for our licenses for.

Thanks for posting plant link.

thanks

Not sure if this is what cobrar was looking for, but I have been looking for it to come is the annual stocking plan. I like looking at that to see what plans are for fry, put take and grow etc.

Exactly. Every year they put out the Annual report in January. This year they haven't. Wonder if the changes at the top has made someone forget or they are just going with this, put together day by day stuff all year.

I asked my brother about it over the weekend to see if he knows anything (he works at the hatchery in Bellingham), and he doesn't, but did tell me that at their hatchery the fish are ready much earlier this year and that seems to be the case from other hatcheries from what he had heard.
