If you want a chance to catch a large rainbow trout, put some suddenly cheaper gas in your rig and head toward Sammamish this week.
Go to Beaver Lake north of Issaquah, where the state Department of Fish and Wildlife has plans to release 1,800 hatchery rainbows weighing between 3 to 5 pounds each this week. The trout were part of an educational display at the state’s Issaquah Hatchery, said a news release from the department.
Beaver Lake is best fished by small boat, although anglers can find places to fish from shore.
The lake’s access site is best reached by way of East Beaver Lake Drive Southeast, off Southeast 24th Street in Sammamish. Parking for vehicles and boat trailers is limited, and a valid WDFW vehicle access permit must be easily visible in or on vehicles parked at the access site.
Beaver Lake is one of several westside lowland lakes open to fishing year-round. Internal combustion boat engines are prohibited on the lake. The daily bag limit is five fish, and bait anglers must keep the first five trout they catch.
