Action: Open Leader Lake to fishing.

Effective dates: Jan. 1 through April 26, 2013

Species affected: All game fish

Location: Leader Lake, located 3 miles west of the town of Okanogan on Hwy 20.

Reason for action: This four-month fishery will provide winter angling opportunity in the Omak/Okanogan area and take advantage of an abundant spiny ray population within Leader Lake. New regulations proposed for Leader Lake would open this water year around, and all public comment has been favorable.

Other Information: Statewide gear and freshwater species rules are in effect for all game fish.
