Question about salmon tags

Post by fishermom » Fri Sep 25, 2009 6:47 pm

My son and I went up where the salmon are spawning on the Stilly today. It was a bittersweet experience - thousands of fish spawning, torn up and bedraggled, dead and dying. Anyway, we saw a smaller dead salmon with a bright yellow tag with numbers. The tag was in the salmon's mouth.

Does anyone know what the tag is for?
