PIERRE, S.D. (AP) — Anglers who catch walleyes on Lake Oahe in the Dakotas in coming years might earn something more than just the joy of landing a big one.
South Dakota’s Game, Fish and Parks Department and North Dakota’s Game and Fish Department are cooperating on a project to tag at least 40,000 walleyes in the next four years as part of a project to learn more about the fish population in the lake. About 500 of the tagged fish each year will be given a “reward” tag — and an angler who catches one and turns in the tag to researchers will be given $100.
