The fate of a fish upon release is primarily determined by angler behavior, which of course means that how we fight, land, handle and release fish goes a long way in determining whether or not a fish will survive. Proper fish-handling techniques and proper catch-and-release tactics are enormously important topics for fly anglers, but even when we think we’re doing things the right way, the fact is there are ways we can improve our fish-handling skills. With this episode, we talk with Sascha Clark Danylchuk, the Executive Director of the “Keep Fish Wet” project that is dedicated to helping anglers improve the outcome and survivability rate for every fish that is caught and then released. No matter how long you’ve been catching – and releasing – fish, this is episode will provide new information and a different perspective on what “catch-and-release” truly means. With a belief that recreational anglers have something to learn from fisheries scientists, and that fisheries scientists need to make their work more accessible to a broader audience of sportfishing stakeholders, Sascha has worked hard to develop a space in which everyone can better communicate in a language that is understood by all.
