Each year during Bass Week, we field questions about how bass fishing is managed in Washington, so this year we’re sharing the video here to give a brief overview on the topic. In the video, WDFW warmwater biologist Danny Garrett discusses the statewide general rules for largemouth and smallmouth bass, as well as the circumstances that are affecting policies and management decisions in waters connected to ocean-going salmon species. Watch the video to learn more! #WABassWeek #bassweek #bass #bas
