Old Time Angler 

  ~ Fly Fishing ~     


Gravity is not a fish's friend - A fish out of water is a bad thing. Hung by the lower jaw, grabbed behind the head, even cradled by the underbelly: All these release methods can damage a fish's internal organs, scales and protective slime. Just being out of the water deprives a fish of oxygen when it needs it most. Studies have found that catch-and-release mortality can be as high as 30 %. If you are planning to release a fish, give it a break: Experiment with underwater photography and then release the fish underwater touching only the hook.
