Regulations
A limit of two steelhead or rainbow fish longer than 20 inches is listed for the region. Since this is a stocked lake, limits follow the stocked-lake regulations. Rainbow limits are five per day, while salmon are 10. As part of the Eagle River drainage, if you remove a king salmon 20 inches or longer, you will not be able to fish any areas where king salmon exist for the rest of the day.
