I would be surprised if some small sm and lm bass fall victim as well.
The biomass of incests in Lake Wa has to be huge and chironomids hatch year round in western WA.
As CM said, you’d still have salmon coming into the lake out of Issaquah creek.

Plus crawdads and whatnot. I know for a fact that they follow behind fall Coho looking for snacks, so there's that too. There's plenty of biomass in Lake WA, of which, young Sockeye eat very little - but the Cutties are all over. Places like Pyramid & Lenore have considerably less biomass and they still pump out fantastic fish.
