Action: Extends trout fishing in South Pond at Bogachiel Hatchery. The pond has been planted with catchable rainbow trout, and is open 7 days per week. The daily limit remains the statewide standard of 5 trout, and other statewide regulations apply.
Effective date: Immediately through Jan. 2, 2017.
Species affected: Hatchery rainbow trout.
Location: The Bogachiel Hatchery South Pond.
Reason for action: The South Pond is continuing to see fishing activity, and catchable numbers of trout are present in the pond.
WDFW planted trout into South Pond this year that typically would be planted into Wentworth Lake because of general public access restrictions at Wentworth Lake. The pond was initially open to trout fishing through Sept. 15.
