Carlodabroads Posted November 20, 2007 Posted November 20, 2007 Hey, This guy put it on the world wide super information ultra weby highway thinngy. Its his own fault. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mW3fpA0wzAU And no you dont " F&*^'n Rock" just some tips. keep fish in the water, do not drag up on the rocks. and do not hold a fish up in the air for a photo while standing out of the water. stay in the water as they can flop out of your hands. Use a net if needed. Use barbless hooks. Holding fish upside down sometimes keeps them chill Wet your hands before grabbing trout. Please add your own Catch and release advise at will. Quote
Guest bigbadbrent Posted November 20, 2007 Posted November 20, 2007 **** man, people like that deserve a smack in the back of the head with a spey cast...and its that pool..sigh..... Quote
Carlodabroads Posted November 20, 2007 Author Posted November 20, 2007 Maybe my tone is a bit harsh. I hope that anyone and everyone will take the tips and advise that can be offered through this forum to promote better catch and release practices. There are definately ways to ensure less stress to a fish that is about to be released. Please take the this information to heart. Quote

Lundvike Posted November 20, 2007 Posted November 20, 2007 Maybe his buddy should put the camera down and give him a hand. He didn't just drag it out of the water but he rubbed it on the rock at one point. Quote
admin Posted November 20, 2007 Posted November 20, 2007 Looks like he made the video private. Don't forget that MissinTheBow wrote a great C & R article for the site here. http://flyfishcalgary.com/catch_and_release.php Quote
snakeman Posted November 20, 2007 Posted November 20, 2007 The video is private now. Is it that clip of a spinfisherman landing a brown on the Bow? Quote

Carlodabroads Posted November 20, 2007 Author Posted November 20, 2007 It is not a spin fisherman. It is a fly fisherman. (well...sort of) Unless your draging up a 20 chinook on the banks of the mighty Fraser cause its goin straight to your freezer, there should never, ever, be a need to drag a fish up on the rocks or beach a fish in my humble opinion. The rocks of the highwood have left permanant deep gouges in a watch that I wear. Actually cut the friggen glass face from creepin around those canyons. Imagine what that would do to a tender trout. The guy might as well have given the fish a DDT or a Stunner to "settle it down" enough to take out the hook and half his face. And Ron Howard behind the lens is just as guilty. Quote
toolman Posted November 20, 2007 Posted November 20, 2007 The term, "beaching", often used when refering to the method of landing fish without a net, does not mean dragging it up on the rocks. It means bringing the fish into shallow water and keeping it under water while removing the hook... Quote
Hawgstoppah Posted November 20, 2007 Posted November 20, 2007 Hey Greg. I dunno if you and max should do a release video... unless Max holds the fish LOLOL (inside joke, but every time Greg holds a fish for a pic with me behind the camera, it's flapping around somewhere or it's gone for a swim....lol ... the fish pick up an extra 95% slime factor or something) Quote

snakeman Posted November 20, 2007 Posted November 20, 2007 Here' a taste: Yikes, is that a bull? There's also a clip on youtube that was posted on FFA of some guy landing a brown with the drag-onto-the-bank technique on the Bow. I've seen lots of nice trout landed in that manner at the dam hole on the Elbow. It's a damn shame. I agree that knowledge of proper catch-and-release techniques needs to be more widespread. Forums like this are great for learning about these kinds of things, but of course not all anglers post here and I think some people use poor landing techniques simply because they don't know any better.

toolman Posted November 20, 2007 Posted November 20, 2007 beachin is beachin...and yes im goin g too yell at u every tim ei see you do it greg...like earlier this week...u got a good net..USE IT I bring in one trout out of a hundred hooked &released, into water that was a little shallow (was'nt wearing waders) and this is the basis for your public flogging....thanks Max... bring on the cheap shots "bruther"... Hawg, you too?...Man, you think you know who your buds are...then this happens. Well I think it's just envy...grin... Quote
chidders Posted November 20, 2007 Posted November 20, 2007 Dam I miss the vid before it went private. Anybody got a copy of it some how? Quote

Guest Foster Posted November 20, 2007 Posted November 20, 2007 well its pretty obvious that tool looks at this site since he made his video private now Quote
Hawgstoppah Posted November 20, 2007 Posted November 20, 2007 Um, the video wasnt made by "toolman"... incase your confused here. A few of us that know toolman kinda ribbed him, and that's not where this thread was intended to go. Apologies. Back on topic. I agree on the use of a large net as Max suggests. Or keep 'em in the water. Beaching is OK if the beaching is done in a foot of water. I think we tend to get a bit too crazy on the handling of fish. If you guys are going to *hit on this guy for his landing of that fish, then please get on the people who continually post photo's in the photo's section, of fish laying on the rocks / in the mud / on leaves / on ice. Don't just get on one guy that posted a video. there's enough blatant misrespect of the fish *AMONG US ON THIS FORUM* to be worried about.... sadly..... Quote
Guest bigbadbrent Posted November 20, 2007 Posted November 20, 2007 I can gaurentee that brown i took a pic of where he is on mud, is going to do a LOT better then that bully....why? First, he was kept in the water until my camera was booted up and ready to go, and its MUD, not cheese grater rocks (which is EXACTLY what they are, max is 100% right. I've fallen on those and cut myself really really badly..) . AND its flopping its head around on the rocks... Quote

I thought that at first too.. but I think he was just calling the guy in the video "a tool", not referring to toolman. Quote
