If you happen to be looking for yet another reason to continue chasing the world-class rainbow trout in Lake Pend Oreille, remember that Fish and Game is conducting a tagging study on rainbows in the lake.

If you’re fishing on Lake Pend Oreille, please keep your eye out for tags located in the backs of rainbow trout. Each tag has a unique number printed on it, as well as a phone number, URL and reward value (on select tags only).

Tags can carry reward values of $25, $50, $100 or $200, so cross your fingers in hopes of catching that big reward fish!

If you see a tag, please report the tag number and location of where you caught the fish to Fish and Game.

For full details on the tagging study and how you can participate, check out this link.
