Ok, starting my second year of tagging fish. Tagged 24 fish last year and recaught 4 of those last year. Recaught one of those again this year already, plus another one.
#18 seems to stick to the same area, it was tagged on 7/4/15 at 8.5" and 4.05 oz; again on 7/19/15 at 9" and 5.95oz; today 3/26/16 at 12" and 14.03oz! She went from 67% to 102%
#20 was tagged 7/9/15 at 10.5 and 9.75oz and today was 13.5" and 1lb3oz. Her WR dropped from 97.5% to 90.5%.
Overall, my wr averages are up from last year in march by a little when I look at all lm. Maybe they are spawning earlier and are heavier, or maybe culling 175 out of 215 last year helped.
Excited about continuing to manage this pond and see my fish get bigger and healthier.
