By The Chronicle Staff

The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife is stocking 24 lakes statewide with over 65,000 rainbow trout for Black Friday fishing, creating a holiday weekend opportunity for anglers around Washington.

In Snohomish County, Fish and Wildlife is stocking fish in Lake Ballinger, Gissburg Ponds, Silver Lake and Lake Tye

“WDFW has offered Black Friday fishing for more than a decade, and it’s been a big hit for anglers statewide,” said Steve Caromile, WDFW inland trout manager. “If you’ve never participated before, this is a great year to start a new tradition spending time outside with friends and family the day after Thanksgiving.”

Included in the more than 65,000 rainbow trout are thousands of “holiday special” jumbo trout, weighing up to 3 pounds and measuring 16-17 inches, WDFW stated in a news release.
