[QUOTE="Pigsticker, post: 31018, member: 209"] Got our info back on the tagged fish we caught this spring. Actually came in the mail quite awhile ago but I just forgot to post the findings until I came across the paper again. Our fish was 16 3/4" at the time of catch. We never weighed it. The data told us that this fish was tagged at the Intake Diversion Dam on the Yellowstone river near Glendive, MT on 04/08/2015. The fish was 16.5" long and was 1.4 lbs at the time of tagging. We caught the fish near antelope flats on 05/23/2015. The report says that this fish migrated downstream a total of 169 river miles in 46 days. That an average of 3.67 miles per day! Data for other fish that were recently caught was also included and many of those fish had similar migration patterns both up and down river from their tagging points. The farthest one actually averaged 6.75 miles per day swimming upstream (108 miles in 16 days)! The longest recorded for 2014 and 2015 data was 249 river miles. Really some cool data. [/QUOTE]
