Blue Fish Radio: What we’re learning from tracking tagged bass

In this episode, angler Dr. Steven Cooke (above), a professor and Canada Research Chair at Carleton University, brings Blue Fish Radio listeners up to date with the latest research on circle and barbless hooks, fish populations and managing fishing pressure. Dr. Cooke also discusses the Cooke Lab’s new initiative of tagging, tracking and monitoring small- and largemouth in Eastern Ontario’s Rideau watershed (below).

For the study to be successful, the Lab requires the assistance of anglers by participating in a 10-minute survey about their experience fishing the Rideau watershed. Take the Rideau Watershed Bass fishing survey at: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/BlackBassBigRideauLake.
