Catch and release fishing has been well entrenched in the younger generation, and many anglers are ready to go to the next level and give back to their waterways. This involves restoring fish habitat features back, which were once there. Think shellfish reefs in the estuaries or native riparian vegetation that used to be there but is now removed. Have you seen it and now it’s gone? Are you sick of the fishing not being as it used to be? We can do something about it, and let’s bring these waterways back to their former glory.
With more and more anglers jumping on the catch and release bandwagon, it’s important that we, as fishers, are treating these fish with a level of care to ensure they have the best chance of survival post-release.
