Clean up after others and after yourself. And spend some time appreciating the natural beauty. Hundreds of experienced anglers, in fast boats, on limited water, fishing 6 to 8 hours a day can damage fish stocks. Most water does not have this type of pressure. It requires that you learn how to release fish so they will live.
Water gives and sustains life, but it also takes life and injures.
Safety first means checking for the person behind you when casting from a boat or pier. It means handling your filleting knife with care. Whether fishing from a boat, shoreline or wading, it means being brave enough to recognize danger both to others and to yourself.
