Re: jaw tag trout
I caught a small brookie in the Paulinskill a week or so after opening day well-away from the stocking points. I sent in the tag with the information. I don't think the tag returns are used for tracking fish movement but more for public relations. Maybe they have a program to chart percentages of fish caught. They only tagged brook trout and only 1000 throughout the state. I don't think anyone knows how many go into which streams or lakes. If that's true then the tags are not part of any scientific research.
