Rethinking Catch-and-Release Trout Fishing
On some of the country's best trout streams, catch-and-release may be doing more harm than good, raising questions about whether anglers should be killing more trout.
Trent Tatum, co-owner of the North Platte Lodge and The Reef Fly Shop, recalls that twenty years ago, two clients could catch up to 80 fish a day on a blue-ribbon tail water in central Wyoming.
“It was absurd,”
says Tatum, describing how anglers would cast three flies below a strike indicator, offering hungry trout a variety of options drifting downstream. Most of the netted trout would be released back into the river after being caught.
