I heard that if I am at the lower net pens we do not need a permit does anyone know if this is true. I have been trying to figure out where to buy the permit and had no luck. Anyone know the scoop??You need a permit for the lower pens if you are fishing from shore .... You can get your licenses at Walmart in Omak ...

We were there last weekend in the boat and limited Sat and Sun down by the State Park-never made it up to the pens. Biggest fish was 7#, smallest just under 2. Remember that scent is considered bait, so any fish caught with a scented lure or bait must be kept. Single barbless hook if you are going to C&R. The gamies were on the water and they were checking and ticketing. We were using an old Dardevle with a single hook and released 6-7 12"-16" each before we switched to worm harnesses and more weight to catch bigger ones. It was a blast!
