Good fishermen help protect the outdoors. They don't
litter. That includes not throwing away gum wrappers or orange peels
and picking up all leftover bait, fish remains, and other trash.
Good fishermen respect other people's privacy and
territory. They fish quietly so they don't frighten fish or disturb
people. And they don't crowd someone out of a fishing spot.
Good fishermen always practice safe fishing. They
are careful when casting and pick up all fish hooks. If they get a
fish hook caught in their skin, they get help taking it out.
Good fishermen buy and carry a
fishing license if they are 16 years or older.
Good fishermen know the size and number of fish
it's legal to keep. Limits provide more chances or more people to
catch fish.
Good fishermen release fish right away if they don't
plan to eat them.
