Chips4Fish To tag or not to tag!

There are a number of reasons why your fish should be invisibly security tagged, whether you are a keeper with a small pond and a limited number of fish, a private syndicate lake, an angling club with your own waters or a large angling centre.

a)   For security!

1)   Fish, particularly larger lake carp, are a valuable asset - why risk leaving them unprotected?

2)   A micro-chipped fish immediately becomes an identifiable individual.  Specimen carp fisheries often claim that they can identify fish from photographs,  how much more secure to have an indisputable identity, in the form of an incorruptible microchip ID, than to argue over possible likenesses, on a photograph, of a fish that can gain or lose pounds in weight between captures.

3)   Save money on insurance perhaps.  Unidentifiable, uninsured fish are a thief's best friend!

b)  For stock management

4)   A microchip allows you to indisputably ID particular fish and study their progress, growth rate and health.
5)   Chips can help weed out non-performing stock so you know that what's in your lake is only the best for your anglers!
6)   Easy and certain identification iof suitable fish for breeding projects

c)   For your anglers

7)   Opportunities for 'Chipped fish' competitions as an extra at matches and for catch report incentives!
8)   Some lakes are keeping detailed catch reports... What fish, where, when, on what bait etc. Not quite cricket perhaps but valuable information for the specimen hunter who's after 'the big one'!
