When Fishing

..

Welcome to the Fishing Tackle Box.

Try, whenever possible to unhook your fishing tackle from the fish while it is in the water and let it go free without it ever leaving its enviroment.

Always wet your hands before touching a fish.Remove the barbs from hooks as it makes unhooking them twelve times faster.

Don’t be greedy. If you have caught enough fish, pack it in for the day.

When game fishing if you want to take a fish for the table, pick a male rather than a female.This especially applies to salmon, whose eggs are precious.

Most vital of all watch out for any sign of pollution. If you see water becoming tainted or, even worse, fish in distress then make an immediate call to the local enviromental agency.Remember that anglers are the gardians of the countryside, so take this vision of yourself seriously.

Now I am not going to insult you with cliché’d advice about leaving litter, fishing line, empty bottles, cans, plastic wrappers and so on.

It’s a good idea to collect other people’s litter. up. Take a bin liner with you so that you can clean up your own little patch of other people’s litter. This might sound like a chore but many anglers are now doing this: litter breeds litter and the less there is around the less the the likelihood of it being dropped in the future.

It is important to realize that unless you are comfortable and at peace with yourself, you just wont be able to concentrate properly on your fishing.

In fact, you will pretty soon make an excuse to pack up and go for home, and you won’t catch many fish that way!

In the winter supply yourself with plenty of hot drinks to maintain warmth. The early and late summer months can also prove to be very chilly.

Even if you don’t wear it .always take a hat with you.In winter a great deal of heat escapes through your head and even in summer, if your head gets wet, you will soon begin to feel cold.

When planning a fishing outing don’t forget the insect repellent.You just cannot fish if you are being harassed by insects.

Don’t stint on energy producing food as fishing can be a demanding and physical activity. If you are feeling hungry, then you will soon be thinking of home.

Its all too easy to imagine fish as alien to us .

They are cold-blooded, they breathe through gills,have scaly skin,and fresh water fish are covered in a protective slime.

In all these ways they are indeed different from us but there are many similarities between humans and fish.

Fish have very acute eyesight. They can feel vibrations just as easily as we pick up sounds.They have a very well developed sense of taste and they learn rapidly through expearience.
Fish are not fools, they are complicated packages of subterranean life.

Its interesting to recognize that all fish species behave in slightly different ways.The expearienced fish watcher knows that each and every species has its own distinctive characteristics that immediately mark it out as unique and individual.

Again if the fish are off the bite, the wind is howling and you want a crafty way to spend the day visit:
