Fish tag

[Brandyn Shepherd]

We got a fish last year with a tag on Kinkaid. I believe there was a phone number on the tag that I called and left the information. I got a phone call back within the next could days and a guy went over the short, recorded history of the fish. Never reported caught and was netted at the north end of the lake 2 months prior. We caught her casting in 20ft of water in the central part of the lake.

Try emailing Steve Pallo with your information: steve.pallo@illinois.gov

Shawn Hirst is the biologist for Kinkaid. Contact him directly (Pallo probably has a lot on his plate as IL Chief of Fisheries...) with the following info:

"If you catch a tagged MUE [muskie] from Kinkaid Lake DO NOT REMOVE THE TAG. Please contact Shawn Hirst, District 21 Fisheries Biologist at 618/687-4546 with the following information: date of catch, length of MUE, tag number (If number is covered with algae simply scrap the algae away with your fingernail or a knife). Anyone providing a tag number will receive the history of that particular fish."
