Fishing Etiquette

1. Obey all state and local fishing laws.

2. Always recognize and respect property rights. Always ask permission first. Public waters are disappearing quickly and we must show the utmost respect to the property owners to show we are gentlemen.

3. Do not litter. If you brought it in, take it out.

4. Approach the water slowly and quietly. Do not enter the water anywhere near an angler who is already in the water. A section of water belongs to the first person fishing it. It is inconsiderate to crowd an angler who was there first.

5. If a nearby angler has a fish on, yield to that person and if necessary, lend a helping hand by offering to net the fish, etc.

6. After you have hooked a fish, do not play it excessively. Land and net the fish as quickly as you can. Keep it in the water as much as possible, the fish should be returned quickly and safely.

7. Never light a fire on someone else's property.

8. Use common sense.

9. Always carry your salmon sea / sea trout licence with you while fishing.

10. Be aware of overhead electric wires.

11. Return all Kelts

12. Do not wear bright clothing whilst fishing it will scare the fish.
