Releasing Fish

How do you release your fish?

Catch and release is crucial to the survival of our fisheries and our sport. Besides being the right thing to do, it is required on more and more of our waters, especially for trout and steelhead. Despite many anglers’ good intentions, catch and release is often not performed properly, and some fish die as a result of being mishandled prior to release.
