Topics will include what type of fish can be caught at different times and ways to present economic opportunities related to fishing.

“Lake Tapps has always had a fish population even though it was a dry bed much of the year,” said Roach. “Fish came in via the yearly diversion from the White River. Now that we have a year-round lake we can talk about a year-round fishery.”

There isn’t an agenda for specific changes at the moment but the meeting will provide a forum to discuss future possibilities.

The meeting will be held at 7 p.m. at the Public Safety Building, 18421 Veterans Memorial Drive, in Bonney Lake.
