Lake Sylvia To Close For Kids-Only Fishing Event

Action: Close Lake Sylvia to public fishing 12 hours prior to a scheduled kids-only fishing event. The lake will reopen to fishing by the general public at 6 a.m. on June 11, 2016.

Effective dates: 6 p.m. Friday, June 10 through 6 a.m. Saturday, June 11, 2016.

Location: Lake Sylvia (Grays Harbor Co.) Montesano, Washington

Reason for action: This rule change is necessary to ensure a safe and successful kids fish-in event. The fish will be planted the evening prior to the event to better acclimate them to the lake.

Other Information: Organizers of this event donate time, effort, and money to raise and stock trout into Lake Sylvia. The organizers also help with other fishing events in local lakes. The expected participation for this year's event is about 350 kids. Lake Sylvia is open year-round with the exception of this closure.
