Starting July 1, 2009, the North Cascades National Park management plan for the stocking of about 42 high country lakes is to stop stocking non-native species. Most of these lakes were historically fishless, and the hope from the NCNP is that they will become fishless again. Time and effort formerly involved in providing stocked fish in these lakes will be used to help other areas of Washington preserve and restore native populations of salmon, cutthroat trout and bull trout.
