The 2011 trout-fishing season at Green Lake begins

What do you think? (No Comments) April 30, 2011 at 4:56PM

Green Lake is open for fishing all year, but official trout-fishing season began today (Saturday, April 30, 2011).

The Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife (WDFW) released thousands of rainbow trout in Green Lake earlier this spring. (You can see pictures of the trout being released into Green Lake here.)

A fishing license is required for everybody aged 15 and older who wishes to fish in Washington State’s lakes. Youth under age 15 do not need a license. Fishing licenses are available online, by phone (1-866-246-9453), from sporting goods stores and other retail license dealers, and from WDFW offices. WDFW fishing regulations are available here.
