Catch a tagged fish? Report it! 

Fish biologists use "T-bar tags" or "Floy tags" to mark fish species across the state, helping them gather valuable data on Maine's fish populations. Each tag contains a unique identification number, allowing biologists to track individual fish through angler reports. If you catch a tagged fish, please take a clear photo of the tag's ID number to report it later. Tags can be yellow, orange, or green in color and found on the back behind the dorsal fin.

These tags are not transmitters or GPS-enabled. The information gathered from "Floy Tags" relies entirely on public reporting. Your participation plays a vital role in helping biologists study fish growth, survival, catch rates, species abundance, and movement patterns. All data collected is confidential and used solely to support efforts to manage fish populations, ultimately enhancing the fishing experience for everyone.

*When reporting a tagged fish, anglers are asked to provide the following information:*


* The tag ID number
* Whether the fish was harvested or released
* The fish's length
* The location where it was caught
