REMEMBER, stay safe on the water

Keep your waters clean and free of trash. Always leave your fishing spot cleaner than it was when you arrived

If catch and release is allowed in your watersheds, please practice safe and considerate catch and release practices, such as keeping the fish in the water at all times, reducing fish handling time and fighting fish for as short a time as possible
