These fish get fairly active in the lake and offer a unique fishing experience. Once in the lake they are considered “trout” and do not require a Combined Angling Tag. Anglers are reminded, however, that only one trout per day over 20 inches may be retained, and these fish will almost all be in that size range. Mid Coast lakes been stocked with trout through- out the spring. Trout stock- ing is over until the fall but there still should be fish around to catch. Water temps are great and fish should be hungry, so go catch them. SIUSLAW RIVER: Chinook, trout Fishing is starting to pick up in the bay. There should be some nice cut- throat around.
