2008 Ames Farm Inn Bass Tagging and Recapture Updates
Please note: Bass are not being tagged in 2008, but weigh-ins at the larger tournaments on Lake Winnipesaukee are being monitored for tagged bass. Anglers are still encouraged to call/email with information on tagged bass that they catch (call 603-352-9669;or email gabe.gries@wildlife.nh.gov). Anglers have reported that some tags are becoming difficult to read due to algae growth. Please take the time to carefully clean the tag on any bass you catch with your fingers until the tag number is legible.
