Triploid rainbow have been sterilized by a special treatment, so that all their energy goes into growth rather than reproduction. They are not only popular on opening day of trout season, but, as they grow rapidly larger, are sought throughout the rest of the year as well. Triploid plants in this general area, of fish 1 to 2 pounds, are as follows; all triploid lakes are open to trout fishing year-around, unless specified otherwise:
Snohomish County: Blackman’s Lake, the most heavily-planted triploid water in the county, most 1 to 4 pounds, but a few in the multi-pound class, several plants, through May, by the Snohomish Sportsmen’s Club and the Everett Steelhead and Salmon Club; Lake Cassidy, 450
fish, planted in April; Flowing Lake, 389 fish, planted in April, along with a substantial additional number, some very large, planted by the Snohomish Sportsmen’s Club and the Everett Steelhead and Salmon Club; South Gissberg Pond (the north pond is juveniles only), 400 fish, planted in May; Lake Martha (Warm Beach), 280 fish, planted in April; Lake Roesiger, 510 fish, planted in April; Silver Lake (south Everett), 400 fish planted in April, and more planted by the Everett Steelhead and Salmon Club; and Lake Tye, 200 fish, planted in April, and more planted by the Sky Valley Chapter of Trout Unlimited.
Skagit County: Lake Campbell, 820 fish, planted in April and May; Clear Lake, 715 fish, planted in April; and Pass Lake, 165 fish, planted in May.
