Catching Trout Could Pay Off with Tag Rewards

Right now, six high-reward tagging programs are underway across the province to help generate much-needed biological information on selected trout populations. With funding assistance from the Freshwater Fisheries Society of BC, provincial fisheries biologists are capturing wild trout in priority lakes and tagging them with removable, high-reward tags. It is hoped that anglers who catch a tagged fish will take the time – with a nice cash reward as incentive – to report their catch. In this way, biologists can gain reliable information on how many fish are caught, along with fish behaviour and movement. The more fish reported, the better our understanding.

• Vancouver Island Region – coastal cutthroat trout in Horne and Comox lakes
• Cariboo Region – rainbow, lake, and bull trout in Quesnel Lake; bull trout in Chilko Lake; and lake trout in Horse Lake
• Skeena Region – bull trout in Meziadin Lake
