Tagged fish

Went up to Chesterfield the other week and caught four tagged rainbows. Called the number on the tags and reported them to Idaho fish and game. The next week I got a letter in the mail thanking me for reporting them. It also gave details about the fish like how big it was and when it was released and where. I guess some of them have rewards. I was wondering if Utah does anything like this?

The only place I know of in Utah that does that is Bear Lake. We have caught both Macks & Cutt's with tags. No money, but Scott will let you know when & how big they were when tagged.

Yes utah has done a lot of this in the past. They did it on rockport for a couple of years. Cabelas has tagged fish in some parts of utah, for its fish for millions contest. My father in-law caught a tagged cat fish in utah lake, that was part of the cabelas fish for millions contest. The part was, is that it was caught a month after the contest ended. It seems like you hear more about these contests during the ice fishing season.

How did Cabelas contest turn out? Didn't hear much about it, any big winners?

When I got on their site to check for winners (last year), there were a few that won. They were off of rainbows. I cant remember what they won off hand, but a few people from utah did win things.
