ethical angling practices

Ethical angling involves respecting fish and their habitats by following regulations, practicing catch and release when appropriate, and minimizing stress to the fish. It includes using proper gear to reduce injury, avoiding overfishing, and maintaining clean waterways. Anglers should identify and follow local rules, handle fish carefully to prevent harm, and prioritize conservation. Responsible angling promotes sustainable fishing, preserves aquatic ecosystems, and ensures future generations can enjoy the sport. Overall, it’s about balancing the enjoyment of fishing with a commitment to environmental stewardship.
