GOOD FISHERMEN:

1. 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.
   

2. 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.
   

3. 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.
   

4. Good fishermen buy and carry a fishing license if they are 16 years or older.
   

5. Good fishermen know the size and number of fish it's legal to keep. Limits provide more chances or more people to catch fish.
   

6. Good fishermen release fish right away if they don't plan to eat them.
