ProFISHiency Catch and Release Methods

Catch and release fishing improves native fish populations by allowing more fish to remain and reproduce in the ecosystem. This practice provides an opportunity for increasing numbers of anglers to enjoy fishing and to successfully catch fish. Releasing native fish caught at your local water waterways will help to ensure that enjoyment of this recreational opportunity will last for generations to come. In catch and release fishing anglers immediately release native fish – unharmed – back to the water where they are caught. When done correctly, catch and release methods result in high survival rates. But catching and releasing fish successfully takes practice.
