| Last year on July 20th, my nephew and I hit a good day, trolling crawler harnesses out front of Oshkosh. We caught 17 fish, and 4 were tagged! We wrote the tag numbers down on the 2 tagged fish over 20" we released. Sent all numbers into the DNR. First time for catching tagged fish on Bago, and we got 4 that day. Go figure.

| just , call the DNR . give them tag number, lenght , weight, location, weather or not you kept it, and your name and address. make sure you call right away, don't wait on it, they will do their population estamate soon and the info doesn't do any good if they get it after the estimate is done. Plese everyone, report the taggs, it can only help the protect our fishery. |
