I think that these particular tags are dedicated just to the contest and/or to gather info that can be given when one phones the 1-800 number.

I saw one caught at an interior lake. We also saw 2 more swimming around but couldn't manage to catch the little biggers.

like already stated just give the tag a quick snip and send the fish back into the lake if you aren't planning to kill them

I wouldn't use the contest as a source of income...

Already quit my day job. ;D ;D

Yes. There are still many tagged fish out at the lakes so as long as you can catch one, you can still claim the cash prize by phoning the number on the tag.

pink tagged rainbow

I caught one – ffsbc pink tagged trout!
Funny story, went to Sheridan area about 2 months ago and the first lake we hit was Irish. Four of us fished it for a couple hours and I was the only one to catch a fish and it happened to be one of the 300 tagged rainbows stocked by ffsbc. Then I lost it! Or so I thought. Two months later I dawn the waders to fish the Coq (when I caught my first steelhead on the fly) and I unzip the inside pocket of my waders and discover the tag I must have placed there. Only the first 150 reported tags will receive $100 rewards while the rest receive other prizes. Believe it or not I am still one of the first 150 and my cheque is in the mail!
