Fishhawk is open for trout May 22-Oct. 31, Two trout per day, 8-inch minimum length. Angling restricted to artificial flies and lures only May 22-Aug. 31. Fishhawk is closed to fishing from Nov. 1 to May 21

Retention of Trout Allowed at Fishhawk Lake after May 22, 2009

Adopted May 1, 2009; effective May 22, 2009 through October 31, 2009.

Amended rule allows retention of trout caught in Fishhawk Lake. Current permanent rule allows catch-and-release only. Rule modifications make trout regulations for Fishhawk Lake consistent with new 2009 stream rules for trout retention on the north coast. Fishhawk Lake is managed under the stream rule for fisheries, not the lake rule, because it impounds Fishhawk Creek which is a productive salmon, steelhead and troutstream, both above and below the lake
