WDFW NEWS RELEASE
Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife
600 Capitol Way North, Olympia, WA 98501-1091
http://wdfw.wa.gov/
November 1, 2006
Contact: Chad Jackson, (425) 775-1311 ext. 113
King County’s Beaver Lake to receive
3,000 large hatchery rainbow trout
OLYMPIA - Anglers will soon have an opportunity to catch lunker trout in Beaver Lake near Issaquah, thanks to the release of about 3,000 hatchery rainbows that average approximately three pounds each.
The release by the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) is scheduled for the week of Nov. 13. The trout were part of an educational display at WDFW's Issaquah Hatchery.
Beaver Lake is best fished by small boat, although anglers can also be successful fishing from shore, said Chad Jackson, district fish biologist for WDFW.
The lake’s access site is most easily reached by way of East Beaver Lake Drive Southeast, off Southeast 24th Street in the city of Sammamish. Parking for vehicles and boat trailers is limited, and a valid WDFW vehicle access permit ( http://wdfw.wa.gov/wlm/vup/ ) 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. All anglers 15 years of age and older are required to have a valid fishing license. The daily bag limit is five fish, and bait anglers must keep the first five trout they catch.
Anglers are advised to check the 2006/2007 Fishing in Washington ( http://wdfw.wa.gov/fish/regs/fishregs.htm ) sport fishing rules pamphlet for complete details.

I normally dont fish for trout, but my neighbor talked me into going with him to Beaver last year, and I agreed after seeing him bring home several big triploids that ranged from 4-6 pounds. Some big trout!
This is a nice little lake to fish and we have always had success there. We trolled around using triple teasers and other small trolling spoons until we found the fish then dropped bait on them and did really well. If it slows on that gear a slowly trolled wooly bugger gets them.
*IF* we have any blown rivers this winter it's a nice alternative to river or sound fishing.
