In a time when angling pressure is increasing and exceeds the supply of
fish, catch-and-release fishing is an important means of conserving fish
resources. In order for catch-and-release fishing to be an effective
management tool, the fish must survive after release. Angling ethics play an
important role in the survival of released fish, so here are some
guidelines:
Remember the 'fair chase' principle; minimize the time that you play the
fish once it is on the hook. Playing a fish to exhaustion may cause it to
die later. Use side pressure this will help in bringing in the fish a
lot faster. Also an appropriate rod weight for the species targeting. I have
seen many anglers fishing with rods to small for the species targeted.
It is better to keep fish in the water while handling and releasing them. If
you must handle fish, wet your hands completely or wear soft cotton or wool
gloves that have been soaked in water. This will prevent damage to the
fish's protective mucous surface.
If you must measure or photograph your catch, have your measuring board or
camera ready, and act quickly. Minimize the time the fish is
out of the water.
Hold the fish gently under its belly and by the area in front of the tail.
Never squeeze a fish or touch a fish's eyes or gills. If you are releasing
the fish, hold it in the water for a few moments before letting go so the
water oxygenates the fish. A fish is ready to be released when it maintains
an upright position and actively swims out of your hands. Never just throw a
fish back into the water.
When
you are practicing catch-and-release fishing, prepare in advance to release
your fish. Choose a hook that can be removed from the fish's mouth easily.
Use landing nets or cradles again appropriate nets size for targeted fish they aid
in having a save quick release. Use needle-nose pliers to
remove hooks. Never tear a hook from a fish. If the hook is deeply embedded
in the fish's throat, snip the line and release the fish, leaving the hook
in place. The hook will eventually dissolve.
Culling fish—the practice of holding live fish for a time, then releasing
smaller fish as larger ones are caught—lowers survival rates. The risk
increases significantly in warm water. Please don't cull fish.
Be decisive and efficient when determining whether to keep a fish or release
it. If the fish you have caught is going to be used for food, the most
humane practice is to dispatch the fish quickly and keep it on ice.
Be gentle, be quick, and when in doubt, think of the fish first!
Come discover the Trinité
River with its enchanting and picturesque sites on the North Shore of the
Gulf of St. Lawrence. Nestled between the seashore and majestic forests,
the Trinité Rivers offers you a fly fishing and outdoor paradise that will
take your breath away. The Trinité is a small river, only 74 KM in length
from its head waters to the mouth at the town of Baie Trinité. This
pristine river is one of my favorite sea-run brook trout rivers in Eastern
Canada and features 67 pools scattered throughout its length. The area
offers a variety of accommodations, large sea-run brook trout, Atlantic
salmon and awesome scenery. All this makes it a superb fishing
destination.
