Hello everyone! We are still out on the local lakes, trying to get as many fish tagged this year before the lakes become ice covered. We wanted to give an update on the project and to let you know that we are still out there catching fish and loving it. Remember if you catch one of our tagged fish, please reach out to us. We would love to hear from you! Some quick project stats: Total number of fish tagged: 1434 Number of different species tagged: 9! These include black crappie, bluegill, bullhead, largemouth bass, northern pike, pumpkinseed, rock bass, smallmouth bass, and yellow perch Waterbodies that we have tagged fish in so far: 8! These include Big Rideau Lake, Clear Lake, Indian Lake, Lake Opinicon, Lower Rideau Lake, Upper Rideau Lake, Newboro Lake, and the Rideau River mainstream Number of recaptures by anglers: 73 Interesting facts from the project so far: Species recaptures include: 1 bluegill, 58 largemouth, 5 northern pike, 9 smallmouth recaptures. Of the 73, 20 were harvested, 46 were released, and 7 anglers did not mention.
Hello everyone! We are now three months in to our project and we have tagged just over 1,000 fish! We have been thrilled by the number of people who have been reaching out to us to let us know that they have caught one of our tagged fish, or to learn more about the project. We really appreciate all of you taking the time to contact us. It is anglers like yourselves who are helping to make this project a success! Now that it is the end of July, we wanted to give you all some quick facts about our project so far. Total number of fish tagged: Over 1,000! Number of different species tagged: 9! These include black crappie, bluegill, brown bullhead, largemouth bass, northern pike, pumpkinseed, rock bass, smallmouth bass, and yellow perch Waterbodies that we have tagged fish in so far: 7! These include Big Rideau Lake, Clear Lake, Indian Lake, Lake Opinicon, Lower Rideau Lake, Newboro Lake, and the Rideau River mainstream Total number of fish reported that were re-captured by an angler: 40+! Interesting facts from the project so far: - Recaptured fish have been 74% largemouth bass, 17% smallmouth bass, and 9% northern pike -75% of the recaptured fish were released, 25% were harvested Remember, any time you reach out to us and let us know you caught one of our fish, we can send you the history of that fish. So you can learn where and when it was originally tagged, the size at capture, and if it has been caught previously! We will also enter your name in a draw for the chance to win a $200 gift certificate. Stay tuned for more updates!
Thank you for exploring our research! We began our 2018 tagging program about a month ago and have focussed much of our research on the Rideau River system, particularly in the areas surrounding Big Rideau Lake, near Smiths Falls, ON. To date we have tagged just under 900 fish, including: -Largemouth bass -Smallmouth bass -Northern pike -Bluegill -Pumpkinseed -Black crappie ... and more! We have been thrilled by the number of anglers who have reached out to us to let us know that they caught our fish. A highlight of this research is being able to engage the community! If you're curious to learn more, or see a video of how we tag the fish, you can check out our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/CookeFECPL/
Hello everyone! We are thrilled to partner with Angler's Atlas to help report the capture locations of tagged fish. If you are fishing in the Rideau system and come across a fish that has an identification tag, we would love to hear from you!
