Fish Tagging Update

After we met at the High School, Sean, Matt and Rebecca did a trial run of the FLOY tags on the Rainbow Trout that are to be released this week from a Winnetka school.  We determined that the Rainbow Trout in the Classroom are too small to handle being tagged right now.  Though the Braeside School fish will be a little bigger (about 15 days to go) on April 13th, we don't want to risk losing any due to the tagging process.   This is a good example of the importance of trying out methodology before hand!

Students:  you are helping with protocols for monitoring the movement of our Rainbow Trout.   From your research, what ideas come to mind to continue the effort, now that we have ruled out tagging the fish at this time?  Comment on this post if you have any suggestions!

Keep checking the hpravines blog to learn what we decide!
