Keep an Eye Out for Tagged Largemouth Bass on Chickahominy River

The Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources has started a project of tagging 650 largemouth bass throughout the Chickahominy River. This project aims to estimate catch-and-release parameters and movement of largemouth bass in both the Chickahominy and James Rivers.

Anglers who catch a largemouth bass with a red dart tag on these two bodies are asked to take a photo of the tag, record the number, and release the fish with the tag still attached. Report the tag to the phone number on the tag and claim a $5 reward. Tag reports will be entered into a lottery for a chance to win $50.
