Good news for anglers. Last week the House Committee on Natural Resources unanimously passed a bill that ensures the continued stocking of fish in certain alpine lakes in the North cascades National Park Complex. Hastings, who chairs that committee, says while he believes the National Parks Service already has the authority to do so, his bill explicitly safeguards the longstanding practice of fish stocking in the Northern Cascades by the National Park Service. Hastings' bill allows the stocking of up to 42 of the 91 lakes that have historically been stocked with fish native to the North Cascades National Park Complex.
