Challenges and joys of stocking Lake Leota
A low breeze passed through the trees and over the lake's water. Residents, some with their children, turn from their conversations as a white Ford F-250 laden with fish backs down the driveway. An older woman named, Diana, with curly short white hair steps out and introduces herself. Diana then pulls herself up onto the bed of the truck, opens a massive grey plastic tub, dons two camo gloves and starts unloading fish into several five-gallon buckets for the children and their parents to release into the lake.
It’s Saturday, May 11th, 2024, on Lake Leota, an about 5-minute drive east of Woodinville Washington. The lake is being stocked, that is, fish that have been artificially raised in a hatchery are being released in the lake. This is quite a common practice, according to the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, over 500 water bodies are stocked with trout and kokanee every year by the agency.
