Tubular. I wonder how the lake's ecosystem reacts to the sudden addition of so many big, hungry fish?

  1. Interesting how some are just "going with the flow" while others are appear to be aggressively attempting to "swim up stream".

    Imagine their surprise when after entering the lake, the lazy fish find that they have to actually work at swimming while the over achievers can now swim about freely with much less effort and resistance.

  2. Interesting that this is a private fish hatchery, Nisqually Trout Farms near Olympia WA. Family-run business for 70 years. Most hatcheries, in the West at least, are government run.

  3. Something for the fisherpeople.

    Which makes me think that it wasn't done this year -- Gov. Benito Inslee won't let anyone out to fish.

  4. Benito finally opened up some of the fishing. I need to find out which lake this is.
    It can't be too far and I doubt they caught them all even if this was from last year. I just picked up a new license this last Friday.
