Call your local WDFW office.  I would guess they'll want him to fill out the information requested for on the steelhead tags report form.  Eventually they'll probably give you some info eventually on the fish.  I'm guessing date of plant etc...

It's a tag.  I caught a steely on Cowlitz with one like that once.  It was tagged in the Sea of Japan or something like that if I remember correct.

Why would a planted trout in a youth pond be tagged :dunno:

Real good question.  Unless they wanted to see how long it lasted before being caught?
