Start of Lowland Lakes Trout Season One of Many ‘Opening Days’ in April

By Ammoland Editor Joe Evans

USA -(Ammoland.com)- For many anglers, “opening day” is synonymous with the start of the lowland lakes trout-fishing season, which gets underway April 22 this year.

Hundreds of thousands of Washingtonians typically descend on trout-stocked lakes to kick off the state’s biggest outdoor event.

To prepare for the upcoming season, hatchery crews from the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) have been working since last year to stock millions of fish in hundreds of lakes throughout the state.

Anglers can find how many on their website.

But anglers, and hunters, too, are also looking forward to a variety of other “opening days” this month for outdoor adventures, including:

• Columbia Basin lake fishing: Dozens of lakes in the Columbia Basin open to fishing April 1.
