A buddy of mine just got back from stanley and came to show me what he had caught. he hadnt cleaned the onces he caught this morning and one had a black wire hanging in its mouth we started pulling on it and out came a lojac, or logac or was it logax? It was from idaho university and said to send it in for a 25 $ reward. I have heard of these but never seen one before. Thought i would ask how many of you had caught a fish that was taged or logaced

yo yo, it's a transmitter. If you ever see a helicopter flying around the river they are looking for them - they can fly up and down the river and detect them from choppers. Don't be surprised if they start buzzing around your house [laugh]. I've seen a handful of them caught. I caught a clearwater steelhead with a $50 transmitter back in 05 or 06, then caught a SF Salmon chinook with a $25 transmitter the following summer. It was a trip. . . I thought I was going to be able to start fishing for a living! [sly]

I caught something similar in a brown up at Chester dam a couple years ago but it was surgically implanted. I did read a thing on those at the Pahsemeroi hatchery while I was there a couple weeks ago though.

Hey, I did some of those surgeries! It was probably from the Henry's Fork Foundation.

In the winter months Dec-Feb I fish for larger rainbows 20-30inch out of CJ strike & the Snake that runs out of it. I cought many tagged fish there. Seems the ID Power Co. tags'em for info gathering. They say you call the info in and get entered in a drawing but I hav't won anything in 12-tags in the past 4 yrs. Hope I'm helping the trout in some way though by reporting the info...

Id say if you could tap into these transmitters signals..youd always know were the fish are..that would be awsome to be able to go right to them..that would make you a fishing god!!
