I called in a tag on a trout I caught at Strike last week, and got the info letter today. It wasn't a money tag, I just call them in to do my part and because I find it fascinating to find out the history of the fish.
Seems this trout was released back in October at the Cottonwood boat ramp. The interesting thing is, I caught it just below the turbines. So the fish either went through the turbines, or over the spillway when they opened the gates during the last few weeks. Either way, quite a harrowing journey for a fish!
I released him, too. Had to take the tag off so I could call it in, though. But he's back out there swimming in the river.
