.—In late March 1991, fifty percent of yearling brown trout stocked into the St. Joseph-of-the-Maumee River and sixty-three percent of those stocked in the South Branch of the Kalamazoo River were marked with Floy tags in an effort to estimate angler harvest.
Joseph River anglers returned a total of 31 tags representing an estimated minimum harvest of 1.8% and Kalamazoo River anglers returned a total of 38 tags, representing an estimated minimum harvest of 1.6%.
Factors that could have contributed to the observed low number of tag returns include; tag loss (or shedding) after stocking, high hooking mortality of sublegal tagged fish, mortality due to tagging, natural mortality of tagged trout before they reached legal size, tags not returned by anglers and migration of fish out of the stocked areas.
