CATCH & RELEASE

• All fish are to be banked as soon as possible to avoid overplaying.

• Always wet hands before touching a fish.

• Debarbed or barbless hooks must be used.

• Carry forceps or unhooking tool.

• Under no circumstances are fish to be removed from the water - gravity puts a tremendous strain on the internal organs of a fish when it is removed from the water, this more often than not results in fatalities.

• If deeply hooked cut leader as close to hook as possible.

• Always support fish and wait until it is revived, move back and forward gently until it swims off.

• If in doubt about any of the above get fishery staff to assist.
