June 21st, 2022 - Bass Tagging

Help us learn more about the smallmouth bass in the Hammond River watershed! We are looking to further our understanding of their abundance, distribution, and movement patterns in the river, so we will be floy tagging 100 smallies!

If you catch a smallmouth bass with a yellow tag, please record the number, date, size, and location of the catch, and release it back into the river so the study can continue! Then you can send your data to projects@hraa.ca. Don't worry- all location data will be kept confidential- no spot busting! We will also be doing a draw for a prize at the end of the fishing season for everyone who has submitted their data!

These are such a fun fish to catch, and we are looking forward to learning more about them!
