Technique
Catch and release fishing, despite its name is a popular method that promotes the conservation of valuable economic and social resources. It does not increase fish mortality like other fishing methods. To increase the survival rate of released fish, anglers have adopted many other techniques such as minimizing the use treble hooks or avoiding deep hooking. While it is still possible to kill a fish in this way, most anglers have adapted other tactics to improve their chances of catching one.
Hook
When removing a fish from the water, it is important to follow certain safety procedures to reduce the chances of it being swallowed. You should not touch the fish's eyes and gills. Also, try to limit the amount of time the hook is out in the air. If the fish swallows your hook, gently hold it by the head and back. Place the fish in the water again and then remove the hook.
Survival rate
Many factors can influence the survival rate for catch and release fishing. Specifically, fish size may have an effect on the survival rate. Larger fish are more difficult to handle and may suffer a higher mortality rate after release. Boca Grande Pass in Florida studied 27 tarpon which had been tagged using sonic transmitters. Seventeen of the 27 fish survived hooking and line release, but one died after being lifted from the sea for a prerelease photograph. Acoustic tags were used to determine bonefish survival rates in another study done in Florida Keys. The researchers found that fish over eighteen inches were nearly half as likely to survive as fish between 12 and 14 inches. Evidently, snook released from a net have better chances of survival.
Impact on trout population
The newest trend in fly fishing is catch and release. It has many advantages. It allows anglers release a trout and not harm it. A trout can survive being caught and released. This is something that many people don't know. Some anglers are skilled enough to catch 20-30 fish in a single day and release them safely back into the wild.
