Note: According to Washington Dept. Of Fish and Wildlife all fishermen – age 15 and older – must have a fresh water fishing license. This applies to anyone fishing on our lake, despite the fact that it is a private lake and we purchase the fish. While the licenses are required by the State, we lack resources to check for complianceThis entry was posted in Community Annoucements by Chuck Wood. Bookmark the permalink.Edit
