Sockeye salmon anglers, don't put your gear away yet.

The state Department of Fish and Wildlife announced Friday the sockeye season on Lake Washington will resume Tuesday and run through Sunday.

As of the close of fishing Thursday, recreational anglers have caught an estimated 28,700 sockeye, said Tim Flint, salmon resource manager for the department. That is well under the current quota of 57,000 fish recreational anglers can catch. That quota is based on a run of 466,000 sockeye, which hasn't changed, Flint said.

"We're expecting we'll be able to run the fishery for the full six days based on what our estimates are," Flint said Friday.

Angler success has declined slightly since the opening a week ago. On opening day, anglers caught 1.25 fish per person. That fell to just under a fish per person Sunday.

The average this week has been about .75 of a fish per person, Flint said.

Still, Flint and anglers have to be happy the fishery has lasted this long. Preseason forecasts estimated the run would not be large enough to open the fishery.

"It's absolutely awesome to see a fishery at this rate," Flint said.

Fishing will be allowed from one hour before sunrise to one hour after sunset. The daily limit is two sockeye, measuring at least 15 inches. All the other rules will remain the same.
