Releasing Fish
The following is a guide to good practice when releasing fish:
- Use barbless hooks
- Use a fine knotless net
- Use strong tackle so fish can be played out, netted and released as quickly as possible
- Avoid where possible handling fish
- Do not pick them up by the tail to photograph
- Where possible keep the fish in the water all the time.
