Archive for: Catch & Release Fishing

Release any fish you do not plan on eating in the near future and properly take care of the fish...

Fish for rainbows with the bead well above the hook and use barbless hooks when fishing catch and release.

Use a net only if keeping fish to eat. Handle fish with wet hands or don’t handle at all.

Measure length and girth in water for use for replica mount.

Use appropriate line strength so not to exhaust the fish during the fight.

Obey all fish and game regulations and respect the tough jobs the biologists have in managing all this.

Release trophy breeding stock.

Become involved in the issues, make your vote count, and be willing to compromise.
