Amended Rules with Late Plant

Anglers are discovering good fishing conditions at Angle Lake during this fall season. Residents have had the pleasure of watching the fish jump throughout the evening hours.

The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife announced amended recreational fishing rules at select waters in Island, King, Snohomish, and Thurston counties.  Angle Lake is one of sixteen select inland lakes where these new rules will apply.

This action will increase the daily bag limit for trout to 10 fish with no minimum size requirement applied. The effective dates for these amended rules are now through to one hour after official sunset on Feb. 13, 2015. The increased capture limit applies to trout only.

Reason for the action: The Department will increase fall and winter recreational fishing opportunity in inland waters throughout the Puget Sound region by stocking more than 300,000 catchable-size (10 to 12 inches) or larger Rainbow Trout.

Angle Lake has received nearly 9% of the total stock available from the following plantings to date:

Lake/Pond	Date	Species	Number	Fish per Pound	Hatchery
ANGLE LK (KING) King County - Region 4	Oct 28, 2014	Rainbow	3,900	1.7	MESEBERG HATCHERY
