Muskiefool, do you know the specific plan for these? I assume there's a specific research project with specific aims in mind-- what are they? Just curious...

very cool, and +1 for Scoot's question.

We have been using these for several years down here, great management tool.

[Nick Kuhn]

Of the 2700 you tag, name the largest one you tag Amber. Then constantly put out Amber alerts

[Muskiefool]

They will go out all over the state for research, one of the most notable lakes is Elk for the long term research that going on there.

I believe all brood females are tracked to see how often they show up at spawn take sites (Rebecca and Elk to name a couple), in research nets, etc.. One pass of the wand and their unique identity can be recorded. Very helpful stuff, and given the way state budgets are, every dollar put towards such fish management projects is appreciated.
