Rethinking Catch-and-Release Trout Fishing
Catch-and-release fishing may be harming some of the country's best trout streams, sparking debate on whether anglers should be killing more trout.
Trent Tatum, co-owner of the North Platte Lodge and The Reef Fly Shop, recalls a time when clients could catch up to 80 fish a day on a blue-ribbon tail water in central Wyoming.
“It was absurd,”
says Tatum, describing the experience of anglers catching roughly 40 rainbow, brown, or cutthroat trout per day on a boat floating a dozen miles of river.
Anglers would cast multiple flies, offering trout a variety of options, and most caught trout would survive, only to be released back into the river.
