Fish tagging for recordkeeping
caught another time by another
angler. Use barbless hooks, wet
your hands when handling fish,
keep fish in the water, and avoid
touching the gills. Cut the line if the
fish is hooked deeply (stomach acids will dissolve the hook over
time). Revive a tired or semi-
Hagerman National Fish Hatchery
conscious fish by gently flushing
water through its gills until it is able
to swim normally. Only take home
the fish you really need and are
planning to consume.
