Reward and non-reward tag information

When an angler catches a tagged fish, valuable information may be obtained. The Department of Fish and Game depends upon anglers to return the tag for processing along with information about the tag recovery.

As a means of encouraging anglers to provide assistance, a reward is sometimes offered for the return of the tag.

Regardless of type, all tags eligible for a reward will have a value listed on the tag.
