      Since many of us in FATC release the fish we catch, I was wondering if anyone has some tips or good links on the topic of Catch & Release?

      Lou, excellent topic for discussion. The internet is loaded with pros & cons of Catch & Release. My rule of thumb when practicing catch & release is, fish barbless hooks, use a net, keep fish in water and hands free release as much as possible.

      I do have a link I keep in my favorites to refer back to ever once in awhile. It’s from the National Park Service.

      My simple technique it to not catch any fish. If I accidentally hook a fish I try to release them without touching them. They can be pesky sometimes.
