I got the chance to head out on the Missouri River with members from the d nr and see how their tagging process works. This is an iowa dnr paddlefish tag, it looks actually like a waterfall band and it says right on it iowa dnr, onawu iowa and its got a number on it. These call that number report the date and location of capture as well as the length of the fish. Be sure to measure from the front of the eye to the fork of the tail. All this to help state fisheries agencies better understand and manage populations. Well go back and uh address things and go over some changes that we might want to have for 2017. Also if you catch a paddlefish between 3545 inches long toss it back the fish withinthis slot limit protect the breeding stock. Anglers can but these personal tags online for their one fish that theyre allowed to keep for the season. Christensen says that things are looking up for the season this year on the Missouri River. Its kind of a more of a hunt and pack or look for the population of fish who are there and during the high water periods those fish are going.
