Abstract
A total of 6,203 striped bass were tagged in fall 1989 and 2,033 in spring 1990 on the Rappahannock River. In fall 1989, 63.5% of the tagged striped bass were less than 400 mm fork length (FL). In comparison, 86% of the fish were greater than 400 mm FL in spring 1990. Pound nets in the Rappahannock River account for 75% of the recaptures, while out of state recaptures account for only 0. 008% of the total returns.
