BASS TAGGING
SURVEY
The
Friends of Norris Lake recently purchased a bass tagging gun and 100

Bass Fishing Tournament which was the lead-off venue to our SpringFest
event. Twenty-four (24) bass were tagged and are represented by
the data

including one (1) hybrid were tagged during the April 20,
2010 electro-fishing event.

Several
of FONL’s avid fishermen, to include Rob McNulty, Rick Cartwright and
Mike
Higgins, have developed a plan to more closely monitor the growth and
habits of
our bass population. Tagging is the first step, catch and release
the
second, and reporting the details (tag #, length, weight and general
LOCATION)
of a follow-on catch to one of the above is the third. For this
continuing survey to be successful one has to know about it and be
conscientious enough to follow through on reporting the details.

Higgins is developing a laminated grid map of
