I just about forgot about all of the fish they tagged this year here in SE Idaho to get some return to creel info. I think they are doing this in just about all of the areas across the state.

Third, there will need to be changes in the stocking program. The price of feed has increased tremendously, but the revenues coming in have stayed about the same. The cost of growing out planters has become an issue. The State heads have asked for reductions in stocking.
At the moment the largest stocking quantities in Southeast Idaho are going to Blackfoot Reservoir, American Falls Res/Snake R, and the Bear River. One or all of them maybe slightly reduced in the future.
To help them decide, they have tagged some of their planters in those area. It is very important that if you get a tagged fish that you report it. Reporting it helps them to know anglers are getting a return on the stocked fish in that area, and it is a good one to keep up. No returns of tags may mean less fish for an area. They are trying to keep the stocking on the smaller reservoirs about the same.
