Submitted by Ray Marcham on Sunday, May 23rd, 02:21pm
The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife is hosting a public workshop on Wednesday to discuss plans for managing the sockeye salmon runs in Lake Washington and the Cedar River.
A report that WDFW commissioned on the runs will be discussed at the meeting. The report reviewed sockeye populations in Lake Washington and the Cedar, the biological characteristics of these runs and how productive the runs are.
The last recreational sockeye season in Lake Washington was in 2006. The numbers have gone down since.
The meeting will be from 6-8 p.m. at the Issaquah Hatchery, located at 125 W. Sunset Way. WDFW staff will be on hand to discuss the report and answer questions.
