Once again the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife is giving anglers something to look forward to on the “Black Friday” Holiday weekend. They are going to plant 82,000 jumbo rainbow trout in 30 popular lakes across the state. These jumbo rainbow trout will weigh up to 3 pounds and measure up to 17 inches. This means that there is a great opportunity for families and friends to get outdoors. Stocking is to take place prior to November 27th. In Chelan County, Roses Lake will be included in the special release. In Spokane County, Hog Canyon Lake will get some jumbos. In Stevens County, Hatch Lake and Williams Lake will be planted with jumbo rainbow. Near Yakima, the I-82 Pond #4 will be included in the special Black Friday plants of jumbos. Most of these lakes have good shore access for anglers. In total the WDFW is stocking more than 237,000 trout in 70 lakes this fall, including jumbo trout. You can get up-to-date stocking information by going to the WDFW website and check out the catchable trout stocking report. The lakes will be listed by county. So, plan on getting out and doings some fishing over the Holiday!
