Wonder how old that Seneca Laker is?

According to DEC Lake Trout in Seneca Lake have the following fin clips:

 

Clip                                                    Age

Right Ventral                                      3,8,14

Right Pectoral                                    5,11,17

Left Ventral                                        2,7,13

Left Pectoral                                      6,12,18

Adipose                                             4,10,16

Adipose and Right Pectoral               2,8,14

Adipose and Left Pectoral                 3,9,15

Adipose and Left Ventral                   6,12

Adipose and Right Ventral                7,13

Left Ventral and Right Pectoral         4,10,16

Dorsal                                                9,15

Dorsal and Adipose                           11

 

Stocked Rainbow trout have a left ventral fin clip.

Anyone have the same chart for Owasco?  I'm surprised they aren't the same for all the lakes.  Any insight?

 

  Thanks for sharing

I apperciate that, but I was referring to fin clip as it relates to age.

[Bigfoot]

I believe that each age class from a hatchery are clipped the same and then distributed to the various lakes. Sometimes lakes could be stocked with fish from multiple sources due to shortages (due to disease at one hatchery for instance),so different clips could occur between the lakes.

It looks to me that the differences between the Canandaigua and Seneca clips are just a reflection of the fact that Lake Trout can live 20 years or so and that Seneca has been stocked that long and Canandaigua has not.

From what I was told they didn't fin clip years ago. That's why most of the hog Lakers have no clips they are to old. That and some of them are native.
