Switzerland Bans Catch and Release
I've been waiting nearly a month for someone to post this, since it
was brought to my attention in private. It's a fascinating turn that has seriously beaten my prediction that this would happen around 2025. http://www.chattanoogan.com/articles/article_127519.asp What's very interesting to me is the fact that "Intent" to catch fish without any desire to eat them was written as part of the new law. "The new Swiss law doesn't make use of the term 'Catch and Release', which is the same as in Germany but I don't see how governments can enforce legislation which makes 'intent' illegal." This is avoidable here but it will require careful planning. Sorry guys, but you've been wrong for nearly two decades. |

"EFTTA acting president, Pierangelo Zanetta, said: "EFTTA does not believe that forcing anglers to kill their catches is either good for nature or for recreational sport fishing - which makes a significant financial contribution to the EU economy. " "Making the killing of fish obligatory will simply reduce fish population and, at the same time, run the risk of having a negative impact on sport fishing. "Anglers and the sport of angling invest time and money to improve water quality and create larger and healthier fish populations. We believe is it far better for the fish if the fisherman decides, according to the situation, whether to keep and eat the fish or to release it." |

If Tim were to advocate the elimination of all fishing in any form I could respect his C&R rants. I wouldn't agree with him but at least his position would be honest and consistent. As it is Tim is just a dishonest crackpot. -- Ken Fortenberry |

Doesn't matter a wit. Consider the salmon ban off California or the new regulations around Florida. Livelihoods of a few be damned, there are much bigger groups than the tackle salesmen, though they have some sway now. Eliminate fishing? Just the opposite. I want to preserve our heritage of fishing and hunting as natural as life itself. This is threatened and could go down in a ball of flames if we continue to market a living animal as a Wet Titleist II, instead of as a vital component of subsistence. FWIW - Ken's shallow and continual libel towards me has lost every ounce of it's "ooomph" at this point (not that it ever really had much) as precisely what I have been saying all along, for 20 years for over a decade, is coming to crisp fruition as an emergent and definitive pattern that began with careful analysis by the Norwegians, a group of people with fish blood in their veins. Again, the thing people seem to forget is that you're not arguing with me, a single crack-pot, if you will. You are, indeed, battling a group of people outnumbering pure 'trophy fishermen' 100 to one, like it or not. It's so simple and obvious to me. When the question is on the ballot: Is it OK to hook a wild animal in the head, purely for fun? Yes or No? Asked of the loft and urban dwellers, how do you really think it will go? If your only defense is to call the voters nut-jobs and saying you like to maim and kill purely for the hell of it, you will lose. Period. This has been demonstrated now, again, clearly by the swiss legislation that I support 100%. Fish exist on the food chain? Yes. Fish exist to be harassed for the good of the sporting good chains? You tell me. Your pal, TBone |

I know it hurts your sensibilities to the point of near insanity but trout truly are more like golf balls than vital subsistence. Get over it already or quit fishing for trout.

Libel ? LOL !! You make a good point, and it's something everyone who fishes for trout should consider. For bringing that bit of awareness to a fly fishing newsgroup you should be given due props. But enough already. Find a way around it, like every other sport fisherman on the planet, or give up fly fishing entirely. Your lame attempts at half-assed PETA, half-assed Dan'l Boone are as pathetic as they are dishonest. And that's not libel Tim, that's the truth. -- Ken Fortenberry |

But in any case my statement is true, your analogy comparing trout to golf balls is far more apposite than your ridiculous assertions that modern sport fishing should be all about "vital subsistence". But if you want to rest your case that'd suit hell out of me. -- Ken Fortenberry |
