FISHING FOR THE FUTURE
Tecka River Monitoring Program
This season, you may catch a trout with a tag
At Estancia Tecka, we have launched a long-term monitoring program to better understand trout populations and the river habitats that support them.
Together with our fishing guides and specialists,
we are collecting standardized data on fish size, condition, abundance and movement, as well as habitat characteristics.
Some trout are individually marked with external tags.
When one of these fish is caught again, we can learn where it has moved, how much it has grown and what happened after it was caught and released.
Caught a tagged trout?
Please, DO NOT REMOVE THE TAG.
01. Take a photo and tell your guide
Take a photo of the fish and its tag, and let your guide know.
02. Record the details
If you catch a tagged trout, please help us by recording the tag number, the fish’s size, and the location of the catch. Your participation contributes to the monitoring of the Tecka River!
03.Release the fish carefully
Every reported recapture helps us better understand the Tecka River.
One tag, one story
your catch with the program’s records.
Each recapture adds another piece to our understanding of the Tecka River.
Over time, this information will help us understand where fish move, how they grow, which habitats support larger trout and how populations change over time.
We also want to learn what happens to fish after they are caught and released.
Recaptures will provide information on their survival, growth and movement after release, helping us continually improve our catching, handling and release practices.
Responsible fishing:
WE ALL HAVE A PART TO PLAY
Caring for the fishery also means understanding the impact of our own activities.
That is why training Tecka’s guides to collect standardized data across fishing seasons is a key part of the program.
Anglers are part of the monitoring program, too.
Every tagged fish caught again and reported helps us learn and make better decisions for the river’s future.
