You may want to choose tight lines over long lines or online on the day after Thanksgiving and create a new family fishing tradition. The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife is stocking dozens of lakes statewide with nearly 65,000 jumbo rainbow trout! The “holiday specials” being stocked just in time for Nov. 28 include thousands of large trout measuring up to 17 inches in length and weighing up to three pounds. Many of these lakes around the state were already stocked with trout in October. A number of other lakes stocked earlier this year are also open for fishing on Black Friday. Many other lakes still boast excellent trout fishing as a result of stocking earlier in the year. “WDFW has offered Black Friday fishing for more than a decade, and it’s a great way to get outdoors over the holiday weekend,” said Steve Caromile, WDFW inland fish program manager. “We stock jumbo trout in lakes near communities, making it easy to spend a few hours on the water with friends and family.” To see a list of lakes with special plants go to the WDFW website and under Spotlight click More News.
