Fisherman provide catch and harvest data by reporting tagged bass
A recent summary of bass tagging data provides an interesting perspective on Idaho fisheries. Smallmouth bass are mainly found in lakes and reservoirs, other than a few river populations.
Idaho Fish and Game started a program in 2006 called “Tag You’re It” to collect information from tagged fish across the state. Information provided by anglers reporting tagged fish continues to be used to estimate angler harvest, meaning the proportion of fish in a population harvested each year by anglers, a press release said.
Fish and Game owes an immense gratitude to anglers statewide for helping us better understand how our bass fisheries and how current fishing regulations are working.
