•Catch and release fishing causing salmon to die. Here's how to fix the problem, say UBC researchers
77% Informative
A six-year study into why salmon are dying after capture and release fishing has led to significant recommendations for anglers to overhaul the practice.
Using smaller hooks, having wet hands when handling, and de-hooking and measuring fish in the water are among the 15 solutions in the study.
Capture and release has become increasingly common in B.C. as salmon stocks have declined.
Avoid catch-and-release when surfaces waters are at or above 18 C.
Use a gaff, or other purpose-built tools, to release fish at the water line.
Avoid fishing locations if predators are present.
If you catch a fish that is legal to keep, do not continue fishing for salmon once you have your legal limit.
