Bow River Rainbow W Tag

[mkm]

Hey all,

 

Today I caught a 21.5" rainbow that had been tagged. Just wondering if anyone has heard of rainbows being tagged in the bow and if so when, why, etc. Also, I only remember the last 4 nmbers from the tag...is this info useful? Thanks

Thanks Max. It seemed that the tag was fairly recent (last 6 months) bc the flesh still looked pretty raw.

They tag fish every year in the fall when the fish rescue is done at the weirs in Calgary and at Carseland.
