Any reader that will read full duplex (FDX-B) ISO 11784/11785 tags should work. Search "ISO 11784/11785 reader".
There are differences in the read ranges, display, interface options, data storage, etc. Some may be water resistant, but if not it might be necessary to use them inside a small plastic bag, but that shouldn't affect the function of the unit.
Once you have the information from the pit tag, you will need to send the numbers to a DNR fisheries manager. Their contact information will be online,. Here is a list of who you need to get in touch with.
For Bemidji Andy Thompson - Brainerd David Lockwood - Detroit Lakes Mike Harbrat - Fergus Falls Jim Wolters - Glenwood Alex Letvin - Grand Rapids Steve Mero - Little Falls Eric Altena - Tower Matt Hennen.
I will have a pit tag reader at this month's meeting on Tuesday.
Thanks!
Levi
