Fishing in Michigan Could Win You Cash

The DNR, Michigan Department of Natural Resources, is asking fisherman who catch trout or salmon to check for a clip on the adipose fin, that small, fleshy fin behind the dorsal fin. If you find one is could be worth $100.
Why the tagging?
It s all about science. The whole fish tag returns program helps biologists understand survival, age and movements of important sport fish according to Jay Wesley, Lake Michigan Basin coordinator, We are particularly interested in confirming the wild contribution of Chinook salmon to the fishery, movement and wild contribution of steelhead in lakes and rivers, and survival and movement of Atlantic salmon, Wesley said. This reward program will help incentivize anglers to become community scientists and help us collect valuable data.
Turning in tagged fish could be rewarding
Next time you catch a trout or salmon, remember to check for a clip on the adipose fin – that small, fleshy fin behind the dorsal fin. It could be worth $100.
Through mass marking assistance by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Great Lakes states, including Michigan, mark popular game fish like steelhead, Chinook salmon, Atlantic salmon, brown trout and lake trout.
Most trout and salmon with an adipose fin clip also have a coded-wire tag in their snout. The tag is small, like the tip of a lead pencil, so it must be removed by lab technicians. Anyone catching and wanting to keep an adipose fin clipped fish should turn the head into a local drop-off station in Michigan.
