Attn: Fishermen-Walleye Tracking Study |
To increase our knowledge on walleye movement and better manage the fishery, a tracking study is being conducted with walleye tagged from Lake Huron & Lake Erie. Each fish will have up to 2 external tags & 1 internal transmitter. In the event that you catch & keep one of these tagged walleye, there is a $100.00 reward for reporting the fish & returning the internal transmitter.
If you catch & keep a tagged walleye, please:
- Record when & where you captured the fish.
- Immediately remove the internal transmitter from the fish & rinse with water. Store the transmitter at room temperature. You may keep the fish.
- For reward & arrangements to mail in the transmitter, please contact the USGS Hammond Bay Biological Station at (989) 734-4768 (Mon-Fri , 7:00 am - 4:30 pm) . At other times, leave a message at ext. 111. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated!
