Wilderness Fishing Decorum
To maintain the quality fishing and pristine settings which draw anglers to remote back lakes in the first place, keep these guidelines in mind.
- If you pack it in, pack it out. No glass please!
- Catch and Release is the norm.
- For the rare shore lunch - Practice selective harvest; release larger fish.
- Non-lead weights are recommended to prevent lead poisoning in waterfowl
- Do not leave any fishing line where birds or wildlife can become entangled
- Leave the site better than you found it.
- Properly secure boats & gear before leaving.
- Help maintain well-marked trails for others.
- Enjoy the total outdoor experience, not just the fishing
- Abide by fire restrictions; do not cut timber.
