Angler Tag Return

Biologists at the Fish and Wildlife Research Institute tag a variety of wild caught and hatchery fish using acoustic or visible streamer tags in effort to learn more about their life history and biology. Anglers are encouraged to report tag information and to release the fish with the tag intact.
