Fishing for tomcod and catch and release

At Centre de pêche Mario Leduc, we advocate catch-and-release of small channel fish when you don’t want to bring in your catch and there’s no risk of the fish dying. This way, waste is avoided and small fish don’t die unnecessarily.
Research was carried out during the January 2023 ice-fishing season to confirm that fish really do survive when released.
This is a very pertinent text and I wanted to share it with you.
Happy reading!
