The museum collects, preserves, exhibits, studies, and interprets the artifacts, art, and literature of the sport and uses these resources to engage, educate, and benefit all.

The ordinary onlooker would be inclined to think that trout fishing, requiring as it does great delicacy of touch and “good hands,” would be the sport in which the ladies would excel.

P HILIPP Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Sciences, University of Illinois and Center for Aquatic Ecology, Illinois Natural History Survey, 607 East Peabody Drive, Champaign, Illinois 61820, USA Abstract.—We conducted a series of experiments to assess the real-time physiological and behavioral responses of largemouth bass Micropterus salmoides and smallmouth bass M. dolomieu to different angling related stressors and then monitored their recovery using both cardiac output devices and locomotory activity telemetry. We also review our current understanding of the effects of catch-and-release angling on black bass and provide direction for future research. Collectively our data suggest that all angling elicits a stress response, however, the magnitude of this response is determined by the degree of exhaustion and varies with water temperature. Our results also suggest that air exposure, especially following exhaustive exercise, places an additional stress on fish that increases the time needed for recovery and likely the probability of death. Simulated tournament conditions revealed that metabolic rates of captured fish increase with live-well densities greater than one individual, placing a greater demand on live-well oxygen conditions.

  • IGFA International Flyfishing Rules
    IGFA International Flyfishing Rules Equipment Regulations A. Line Any type of fly line and backing may be used. The breaking strength of the fly line and backing are not restricted. B. Leader Leaders must conform to generally accepted fly fishing customs. A leader includes a class tippet and, optionally, a shock tippet. A butt or taper section between the fly line and the class tippet shall also be considered part of the leader and there are no limits on its length, material, or strength. A class tippet must be made of nonmetallic material and either attached directly to the fly or to the shock tippet if one is used. The class tippet must be at least 38.10 centimeters (15 inches) long (measured inside connecting knots). With respect to knotless, tapered leaders, the terminal 38.10 centimeters (15 inches) will also determine tippet class. There is no maximum length limitation. A shock tippet, not to exceed 30.48 centimeters (12 inches) in length, may be added to the class tippet and tied to the fly. It can be made of any type of material, and there is no limit on its breaking strength. The shock tippet is measured from the eye of the hook to the single strand of class tippet and includes any knots used to connect the shock tippet to the class tippet. In the case of a tandem hook fly, the shock tippet shall be measured from the eye of the leading hook. C. Rod Regardless of material used or number of sections, rods must conform and cast according to generally accepted fly fishing customs and practices.

  • Release Recreational Angling to Effectively Conserve Diverse Fishery
    Biodiversity and Conservation 14: 1195–1209, 2005. Ó Springer 2005 DOI 10.1007/s10531-004-7845-0 Do we need species-specific guidelines for catch-and- release recreational angling to effectively conserve diverse fishery resources? STEVEN J. COOKE1,* and CORY D. SUSKI2 1Department of Forest Sciences, Centre for Applied Conservation Research, University of British Columbia, 2424 Main Mall, Vancouver, BC, Canada V6T 1Z4; 2Department of Biology, Queen’s University, Kingston, ON, Canada K7L 3N6; *Author for correspondence (e-mail: [email protected]) Received 2 April 2003; accepted in revised form 12 January 2004 Key words: Catch-and-release, Fisheries conservation, Hooking mortality, Recreational angling, Sustainable fisheries Abstract. Catch-and-release recreational angling has become very popular as a conservation strategy and as a fisheries management tool for a diverse array of fishes. Implicit in catch-and-release angling strategies is the assumption that fish experience low mortality and minimal sub-lethal effects. Despite the importance of this premise, research on this topic has focused on several popular North American sportfish, with negligible efforts directed towards understanding catch-and-release angling effects on alternative fish species. Here, we summarise the existing literature to develop five general trends that could be adopted for species for which no data are currently available: (1) minimise angling duration, (2) minimise air ex- posure, (3) avoid angling during extremes in water temperature, (4) use barbless hooks and artificial lures=flies, and (5) refrain from angling fish during the reproductive period. These generalities provide some level of protection to all species, but do have limitations. Therefore, we argue that a goal of conservation science and fisheries management should be the creation of species-specific guidelines for catch-and-release.

Located in the path of the Gulf Stream the Island enjoys mild temperatures and attracts an abundance of marine life associated with the warm-water current. So, whether you’re a keen angler, or a novice wanting to while away a few hours, you’ll find a range of locations for both freshwater and sea fishing. And if you’re looking for something different why not charter a boat and turn your hand to deep sea fishing where you can try your luck at catching crabs, lobster and even shark? What you can catch A taster of what you could catch during your visit to the Island: Rock fishing: coalfish, pollack, ballan wrasse, cuckoo wrasse, grey mullet, mackerel, conger eel Breakwater fishing: coalfish, pollack, ballan wrasse, cuckoo wrasse, grey mullet, mackerel, conger eel Harbour fishing: grey mullet, coalfish, flounder Shore fishing: bass, tope, dogfish, grey mullet, mackerel, coalfish, plaice, dab Freshwater fishing: brown trout, sea trout, Atlantic salmon, rainbow trout, eels Photography by Mark Boyd and James Cubbon 3 Sea angling 4 With almost 100 miles of coastline you’ll have no trouble Bride finding a harbour, breakwater or rugged rock formation from which to cast off.
