That was about the reasoning for the early opening. The article pretty well cover all that the DFW biologist reported. Restricted fisheries means less harvest and they still stocked about the same numbers so the fish ate themselves out of house and home as the saying goes.

> Per an article in today's Spokesman Review, Amber Lake will open on April 1st this year to offer local fly fisherman a crutch to get them over the hump from the winter lake closures to the lowland lake opener. This is good news for those of us in Spokane County. I have to believe that the DFW would like to add a little bit more season to help thin out some of the over stocked fish in the lake as well as give the local fly anglers some place to go early season. > > Dell, you have any more info on this? This apparently was a recap from a meeting of the Spokane Fly Fishers with a presentation by a DFW employee? > > Mike >
