Washington Lake (22,138 acres)
Elevation 14ft. Max Depth 209ft.
Sockeye salmon were introduced into Lake Washington in 1937. Salmon initially bred in the Cedar River, bigining in the late 1930's, but also began breeding along the lake beaches by 1957. Because of the two different environments, in 13 generations the salmon evolved into two genically different populations. Beach males have deeper bodies, with larger humps which are favored by females. Beach females are 10% smaller than river females. River males are streamlined with small humps, to swim easier in the river. River females are large and strong, to build deeper nests in fast moving water, which prtects the eggs during floods. This lake also holds Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass,Pumpkinseed, Yellow Perch and Brown Bullhead, and several species of trout.
