Correct Fish Care
The following is what we regard
as correct fish care. We therefore expect you to
comply with these guidelines at all times.
1. Always keep
your net within reach of where you intend to
play fish
Why?
When you have a
fish on, it requires your full attention. Slack
line caused by any distraction could
result in snagged
fish and unnecessary mouth damage.
2. Once netted,
make sure the fish’s fins are folded flat before
lifting from the water and when placing on the
mat.
Why?
Fins are fragile
and if caught in nets can be broken easily,
damaging the fish for life.
3. Always use a
suitable unhooking mat, located in a flat,
shaded, soft, grassy area where possible and
always away from rocks and the water’s edge.
Once netted, immediately place the fish on the
mat.
Why?
Placing fish
directly onto hard bank can cause serious
external and internal injuries and removes
protective slime,
increasing the risk of infection upon their
return to the lake.
4. Always have a
bucket of lake water by the side of your mat
along with your scales, sling and camera.
Why?
Slings should
always be wet before weighing a fish to avoid
removing protective slime. By having lake
water to hand you
can keep the fish wet and prepare it to be
weighed without leaving it unattended.
5. Never leave a
fish unattended on an unhooking mat.
Why?
We all know that
fish sometimes flap without warning. When
unattended, the fish can easily escape
your mat and
injure themselves on hard ground.
6. Remove your
rig from the fish’s mouth immediately and treat
with antiseptic (e.g. Klinik) where necessary.
Why?
By preventing
further damage and treating the fish you are
reducing the risk of infection and ensuring
the fish remains
in good condition.
7. When holding fish for
photographs; Support the fish’s weight with both
hands underneath . Do not lean or rest the fish
on its stomach.
Take care not to interfere with
the gills or damage fins.
Never stand to have your picture
taken or hold the fish too high above the mat.
Similarly, do not over extend the fish towards
the camera.
If a fish flaps whilst raised,
cradle it towards your body to prevent the fish
falling - you may get messy but it will prevent
fatal injury.
Always use
your sling or unhooking mat to return the fish
to the water. Never carry it yourself.
Always
remove wristwatches before handling fish
Why?
Carp and Catfish
are delicate species and can suffer serious
injury from even a slight fall. A healthy
fish is worth
infinitely more than a perfect photograph or a
clean t-shirt.
