Re: 2010 Fin Clip chart, know what you are catching

John is there any way to post what a heathly fish should weigh by age? BARRY


I was correct, the official management goal is 18 inches by the end of 2nd growing season/fall netting time - this goal has not been met in Winni in the past two years.

There will be some questions asked many times by F and G this year one wil be "in your estimation and angling preference, what is a "quality" sized landlocked Salmon"? Details as soon as I have the OK to post it, just something to think about for now. It will be recorded and tracked somehow by F and G.

I'm also trying to get a "detail" list of what data is absolute in creel data needed by F and G. Until we get the Creel Survey set up, be a good idea to keep track of the pertinent date now in your log, data needed should be coming out today.

If you don't keep a log, start now, it's the most valuable tool you can have on board and for F and G.

My best guess by fin clip it was a 3 year old or a 7 yr old. In Winni I would say it was a 7 year old and grossly underweight and growth, but it could be a 3 yr old ???

But in either case, it's under-weight for 22"..

On second thought, now I doubt it's a 7 year old, it would have been longer, skinny, but longer I would think.

I'll find out how close my answer might be and get back you. Tough question (but a good one) for a non professional.

Re: 2010 Fin Clip chart, know what you are catching

3 lb 22 inch winni salmon I would consider to be normal size for this time of the year.During the derby our goal is 24 + inch to see over 4 lbs on a winni salmon.polebreaker

It was/is, I just think it should have beem closer to 4 than 3, but in Winni perhaps it was close to the norm. It's hard yo get a good grip on it unless you see it in he flesh and then it takes some thought.

Good fish Barry,
