Return Your Sockeye Salmon Tag and Win
Posted on November 24th, 2006 by Rodney Hsu, webmaster

Fisheries and Oceans Canada released a notice on August 4, 2006 describing a tagging project that was being undertaken in 2006. Floy tags were affixed to sockeye and harvesters were advised that they would be eligible for a cash prize for tags retrieved and returned. The final date for submission of floy tags from this project is extended to November 30, 2006. Fishers are reminded to send in any tags prior to this date with information on when and where the tag or tags was recovered and what gear type was used.

Please send the tag or tags to:

A'Tlegay Fisheries Society
1441 B16th Avenue
Campbell River, B.C.
V9W 2E4

Individuals returning tags will be entered once for each tag returned into a $4,500.00 lottery.

Prizes are as follows:

$2000.00 - First Prize
$1000.00 - Second Prize
$500.00 - Third Prize
