Keep 'em Wet!
Among the ideas promulgated by Cal trout Founders, in addition to the 'Wild Trout' component, has been 'Catch and Release' fishing. Driven by changing views regarding conservation of increasingly limited natural resources during the late '60''s, 'Catch and Release' began to take hold on a broader basis.
Since the 1930s, writers like Lee Wulff and Paul Needham, along with Joe Brooks and Rodrick Haig Brown much later on, brought increased attention to these issues.
'Catch and Release' is now embraced even by the Tournament Bass Circuit across America.
The 'Keep 'em Wet' movement follows this thinking and goes a step further. The advent of relatively inexpensive underwater cameras such as the Go Pro Hero, now make possible what was once the rarefied air of those who possessed uber expensive underwater cameras.
Let's see what a little creativity can do for embracing the concept of improving our care for an exciting quarry at the point of capture and release.
I think we will still get the desktop photos our friends and co-workers envy at our office shrines. We can always use some of those great shots in The Current. Send them along to [email protected]!
