Didn't Buffalo Bill's go out of business last fall? The biologist at the Issaquah hatchery should know what's going on at the mouth of Issaquah Creek. A Fisheries student doing work on Lake Washington said bass and cutts gather near the Montlake Cut to feed on outgoing smolts there, also. That area could be netted just as easily as Lake Sammamish. Let's hope this is just a short term study; a bountiful Lake Sammamish kokanee population was "managed" to near extinction decades ago. I would hate to see that happen to the Sammamish cutts and smallmouth, too.
