The resort gives away barbless hooks and very few people bothered to
use them. Powerbait was the bait of choice and sadly I saw so many
dead
fish along the shore it turned my stomach. Even the adults who were
fishing with kids seemed to have no concern as to whether the fish
were
released safely or not.

I'm glad I decided to start fly fishing.




are you saying there was there a connection between the power bait and the
fish deaths? is there something toxic in the power bait? someone fishing
next me the other day gave me a jar of it, but i release what i catch, and
if the power bait is somehow harmful to the fish, i don't want to use it.
when you refer to unsafe release methods, to what are you referring?
thanks-
