Smallmouth DNR studies???

does anyone have the studies for sallmouth bass that the DNR did.. I remember sayone saying they release the smallmouth around the coon rapid dam area, and they travel 20 miles from the dam or so…..and what about the white bass tagging studies done this past summer????? want info please….

I believe it was targeted for the pool above the dam, and was an interesting read. Took me awhile to Google it up the specific wording to find it, cause its hiding in a university or some deep gov. Archive somewhere. I can look it up when I get home if someone else can’t find it.

here ya go

any more studies anyone care to share…since it’s winter mind as well read and stock up on the information, cause when the water opens up, reading takes away time on the water…..feels good to read and have a cup of coffee in front of the fire place….kids are at school, wife at work, just old me n the dog….perfect day…

While our official report on the white bass tagging study will not be out until May 2014 I previously posted an update on where our tagged fish were moving.

White Bass Tagging Update

Since this update we have had 2 more tag returns including one from near Weaver in Pool 5. I did finish development on our database, so hopefully all of the individuals who have submitted tag returns and provided contact information have been contacted with info about their tagged fish by now.

Thanks again for your interest and help with the white bass study.

Have a safe ice season, and by all means continue to report any tagged fish you might encounter.
