My recollection is that Lk. Washington Sockeye would open around July 4th. It is best to fish as soon as it opens. They don't open this fishery until a god awful lot of fish have passed the locks, 350,000 I think. The fishing is good for at least two weeks, then starts to taper off.
Thanks to Ron Sims for canceling the paid for spawning channel. We'd have a sockeye run every year! I'd get some buddies and go to Port Alberni on Vancover Island for my sockeye. Limit is 4 per day, 8 in possession.
