Keep em' wet.. It's always important to remember best practice for catch and release no matter where you are fishing or what you are fishing for. 

If you intend to release a fish always have fish welfare at the forefront of your mind.

 

Perhaps most important early season when large numbers of fish are caught, make sure that you go equipped with all the right tools to release fish successfully. We take fish handling seriously, any angler found mishandling fish or showing bad catch and release practice may jeopardise fishing at our waters.
