Lower Hampton
Lake is a popular fishing spot |
In order to support recreational
fishing as well as uphold the mission
of the Refuge fisheries resources are managed. Many areas of the
Refuge are closed to fishing, particularly during the winter months,
to provide sanctuary for migratory waterfowl. Currently both trout
and spiney ray fisheries are managed through an agreement with the
Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife. Some of the lakes and
waterways on the Refuge are stocked with fingerling sized fish.
Occasionally some of the waterways are treated with rotenone to
reduce carp populations. An over population of these fish can significantly
impact aquatic vegetation and wetland functions. For more information
about fisheries management at the Refuge contact
the office. |
