This is a small handheld device that lets you scan any fish you catch for a tag. If you find a tagged fish, we would appreciate it if you let us know where you caught it, and considering releasing any tagged fish alive, so that they can keep contributing information to our study. Tag readers can be picked up at the Lands and Resources office in Moose Factory, and we will compensate fishers for bringing the tag readers with them on their fishing trips.
