About Us
Commercial fisherman have a living to make by selling their
catch. RSA's do not and it's that simple, and what Recycle Fish is
about is to encourage anglers to return as many fish as possible
back to the sea alive and to demonstrate to those who create
legislation that affects us, that we are responsible people who just
want to go fishing!
Anglers who have joined Recycle Fish have
made a statement. They have simply said that whilst they might take
fish home to eat and share
with their friends and family, they don't kill
all the fish they catch.
They get pleasure by
luring the fish to their bait and indeed from the fight to the
surface, but it's letting the fish swim back alive, that gives them their biggest kick!
Joint Initiative
We have been working closely with the
Dorset Wildlife Trust in a
joint initiative to produce an "anglers code of conduct"
reference
card, we have named it the "Anglers Tackle Box Card" as it is not only
waterproof but an ideal size for slipping into your tackle box, we
have also been lucky enough to get approval and support for our
initiative from Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall (River Cottage Series)
and TV Producer & Journalist Nick Fisher,
Hugh said;
"Congratulations to the Dorset Wildlife Trust
and the Recycle Fish Campaign for working together in the creation
of this Anglers Code of Conduct Initiative,
This waterproof tackle box card will be very
useful to recreational sea anglers and I hope everyone will not only
embrace the principle of catch & release, buy also adopt the
recommended methods of handling and caring for our sea fish and the
marine environment in which they live."
Thanks Hugh and Nick, we could not agree more ...... (The Team)
