How to Release a Fish
- Do not play a fish into total exhaustion.
- Keep fish in water as much as possible when handling and removing hook.
- Remove hook gently without squeezing the fish or putting fingers in gills. The use of barbless hooks is encouraged.
- If deeply hooked, cut the line and do not pull hook out. Most fish survive with hooks left in them.
- Release fish only after its equilibrium is maintained. If necessary, gently hold fish upright, facing upstream.
- Release fish in quiet water, close to area where it was hooked.
