    Default Green Tag DWR Chinook

    I was swinging up salmon on the weekend and one of the fish had a green tag on it with a telephone number and said DWR

    Does anyone have information on this tag

    Question Green Tag....

    If you go to the DWR website, www.water.ca.gov/ and do a search for "Green Tag on Salmon" a list of tagging projects will be displayed. Sorry I can't aim you at the one you're interested in, tho.

    Ha! Yeah I was thinking maybe a portion of the phone number was obliterated and he was looking for info. But I don't know?

    I think it would be impossible to even speculate what this fish was tagged for on the sparse info provided. If you really wanna know, I'd call back and leave a message stating you caught a tagged fish and provide a call back #, but don't provide the tag number. Someone more than likely will call you back....

    So I have 4 different tags off of 4 salmon and called three times left two messages. I then called the fish hatchery and they said to come in and drop them off when I have time. Also what I was told was that the people you call when dialing the phone number on the tag are real busy and out of office doing bio work (its what the hatchery person told me) so they dont have lots of time.

    I figured that if they have a phone number on there they should call people back that are calling them. Like Dave said though almost most makes one think of where our tax dollars are going. Well you dont even have to think to know that not much money goes to DFW and into the bio research for nature. Our leaders that think they are gods!!!! (damn them!!!!) spend it else where and will go on record to say they do not care much about wild life! Again all this is my opinion and just me.

    PS Dave if you want turn them in I guess you will have to do a hatchery trip.

    Is there any numbers or writing on those tags?

    You would think they would want to know where and when that salmon was caught.

    In the fall I got a 7# Steelhead about 50 years ago drifting night crawlers from our boat with my dad down by Hwy 80 / Cal Expo on the Lower American River.

    It had a bright orange tubular tag on it with writing on it. I think I mailed it into the CA D of F & G.

    I told them where and when I caught it.

    They sent me a letter and told me that it was weighed, measured and tagged up on the Sacramento River about a month before.
