Summit fished well (relatively speaking) on Sat. with about 4.5 fish/caught per angler (~2.5 fish/angler harvested). Many anglers who fish Summit are strictly C&R fishers but we did see many of the large AD marked diploid RB in the fish anglers kept. These fish made up about 12% of fish harvested but represented about 2% of fish stocked. Some of this can be explained by high-grading but most anglers reported keeping all fish caught. Based on what we observed here, and in other Thurston Co. lakes, this program is working well. These fish appear to return to the creel at a much higher rate than smaller RB. Comments?

Also, eleven kokanee up to 12" were harvested (incidently????) at Summit on the opener
