#3 – From WVDNR – The West Virginia Division of Natural Resources has announced plans to conduct a trout harvest rate study during the 2025 spring and fall trout stocking seasons. The study will help biologists better understand how long trout stay in stocked streams, how they move over time, and whether they survive through the summer.

As part of this effort, WVDNR hatchery staff will be releasing rainbow and golden rainbow trout marked with unique numbered blue tags into waters around the state. Anglers who catch a tagged trout are asked to clip off the tag and report it using the contact information printed on it. Those who participate in the study will receive a gift card up to $100.

Anglers may keep or release the fish after removing the tag. If a fish has more than one tag, all tags should be removed and reported.

Tag reports can be submitted via email to [email protected] or by calling 304-637-0245.
