How to Release Fish
- When you need to release a fish, there are some special precautions
you can take to give it the best chance of surviving.
- Minimize handling by leaving the fish in the water. Touching
the fish removes the scales and slime that protect the skin of
the fish.
- Do not net your fish - but if you must, use a soft, knotless
net or rubber mesh net. (Knotless nets are now required in freshwater
areas with selective gear rules).
- Use a hook remover (dehooker) when hooks are imbedded in the
mouth or jaw.
- If a fish has swallowed the hook, cut the leader.
- Keep fingers away from the eyes and gills of the fish.
- Do not squeeze the fish as this can cause damage to internal
organs.
