Noted mountain climber Ed Viesturs is scheduled to appear on tonight’s “The Colbert Report.” The show airs at 11:30 p.m. on the Comedy Channel and is repeated at 2 a.m.

Viesturs recently reached the summit of Mount Everest for the seventh time. The Bainbridge Island resident also has climbed all 14 of the world's highest mountains, without the use of supplemental oxygen. In doing so, he was the first American and the fifth person in the world to accomplish this.

The state has announced it has set a maximum size limit for kokanee on Cle Elum Lake. Here is the rest of the release:

Action: Adopt a maximum size limit of 14 inches total length for retention of kokanee (landlocked sockeye salmon) in Cle Elum Lake.

Effective date: Immediately through Oct. 28, 2009

Species affected: kokanee

Location: Cle Elum Lake in Kittitas County

Reason for action: The Yakama Nation and Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife are beginning the reintroduction of anadromous sockeye salmon in the upper Cle Elum Basin with the transfer to Cle Elum Lake of 1,000 adult sockeye salmon trapped at Priest Rapids Dam on the Columbia River. A percentage of the fish will be released with radio-tags so they can be tracked in the lake to understand their pre-spawning behavior and later this fall when they migrate into the upper Cle Elum River to select spawning habitat. Few anadromous sockeye will be smaller than 16 inches, and few landlocked kokanee are greater than 12 inches; therefore a 14-inch size threshold will allow the kokanee fishery to proceed this summer without inadvertently harvesting valuable sockeye dedicated to the reintroduction effort.

Other information: The kokanee daily limit remains the same (16 kokanee, no min. size); see Page 87 in the 2009-10 sport fishing rules pamphlet.
