According to the June 7 WDFW stocking report, Rattlesnake Lake has
not yet been planted this year
(http://www.wa.gov/wdfw/fish/plants/weekly/).
According to the Proposed Triploid Trout Distrubution
(http://www.wa.gov/wdfw/fish/plants/triploid.htm), Rattlesnake was
scheduled for 500 triploid plants in both April and May for a total
of 1,000. Since the lake has been so low, I strongly suspect that it
hasn't been planted yet.
