I like "catch to eat" fish. Tiger trout in that lake (above somewhere post) are catch and release only. They were put there to help wipe out an invasive species.Hi. They have released them here in Victoria in a couple of deep lakes about 5 yrs ago. Don't hear much about them though. I did see on a fishing show last yr with a guy in one of the lakes catch a couple. Think its a bit of an experiment to see how they go. To date I don't think they have expanded it.
While done properly, catch and release fishing can be a sustainable practice, but if not handled carefully, it can be harmful to fish as they experience stress from being caught, handled, and removed from the water, potentially leading to injuries, exhaustion, and even death, depending on the conditions and handling techniques used; therefore, proper handling practices are crucial to minimize harm to the fish.
