Catch & Release, I return all my fish, I never keep any, 1 0r 2 a season,and variouse other reasons!! for so called conservatoin. FISHING FOR FUN!!- CAUSING STRESS&DAMAGE to those poor fish. WATCH OUT,WATCHOUT, There are ANTIS ABOUT( thousands of them)when we first went fishing with my dad he used to put the frying pan on the fire and say you better catch some trout for our breakfast. We set out with sword and shield.(fishing rods) And caught our breakfast. all four half pounders wonderfull. C&R NO!! not taking to many,yes! returning ALL coulered fish,yes! returning all hens at the backend,yes.Its not YOUR faults the fishing is in decline the major problems are at sea. A good manegment policy, stocking policy,and system improvements.Are what the anglers should be concerned with thats whare we CAN make a contribution. Its not so long ago anglers were taking between 10 and 100 salmon a season and thare were a LOT more anglers then than now.Is it any wonder!! we have very few young anglers when thay get set free to hunt and then scorned for returning with the DINNER"
