Sportsmen Oppose Lake Pend Oreille Fishery Closure
Bonner County Sportsmen's Association votes unanimously against closing the Lake Pend Oreille Kokanee fishery. They urge a six point plan: inventory the lake, monitor water quality, study kokanee food sources, secure minimum water flow below Cabinet Gorge Dam, and continue annual fishery monitoring before any action.
