Join us for the Baker Lake Sockeye Derby, brought to you by CCA, Puget Sound Energy (PSE), and WDFW. With a preseason forecast of 31,000 sockeye returning to the Skagit River system, we anticipate a great Baker Lake sockeye fishery and a fun derby for all participants. The season will run from July 15th to August 31, depending on the run timing, and a limited number of tagged sockeye will be placed in the lake throughout the season. Catch a tagged fish and you’ll be eligible to enter a raffle drawing, which will be held at the end of the season. Last year, 125 sockeye with CCA tags were placed in the lake, with 55 tagged fish being recovered. This year, we will place 200 tagged sockeye to improve your chances of catching a tagged fish. After the season closes, CCA will randomly draw prize winners from all eligibly submitted tags. Prizes will range from cash prizes to several fishing-related prizes, as well as a prize for the best submitted picture. Don’t miss out on this exciting opportunity to catch tagged sockeye and win great prizes. Join us for the Baker Lake Tagged Sockeye Derby!
