Salmon Head Recovery - How To Package Multiple Heads?

[Pineapple Express]

Last year coho fishing was good and I got clued in to the salmon head recovery program. Submitted several heads. Each one tagged and bagged individually.

This year, I was wondering how to package up the heads? Looks like the program requires one tag per head, but can I put multiple heads in a bag?

Any other tips?

The official bags also have an illustration that only the snout region is needed, so basically the lower jaw can be discarded.

I just put them in zip lock. Single or multiple. I don't think it matters. Good for you for turning them in.

I am starting to find its better to fill everything on boat before I hit cleaning station . Way faster.

At least you’re getting to the cleaning station.

Where would be the closest head depot if you were launching in Port Moody? I'm out in the Ridge and once home I'm like now I have a head. Great.

Thanks. I'm on my phone and any links off the web were turning up nothing. Which is weird. Thank you for posting this!

So the folks at Sea Run, Berrys and Stillwater would keep a freezer going for heads? That's pretty cool.

Might be worth a call to be sure . Just a list I pulled off the interweb

Good point. At least the internet gave you something!
