St Mary's Code of Ethics

"THE CODE"

Pay close attention to #12 due to the amount of fish we have caught in previous years!

1. Observe all fishing laws, report violations.

2. Release smolt and parr carefully.

3. Be considerate of private property.

4. Keep our rivers free from trash.

5. Help the novice by example and advice.

6. Rotate the pool.

7. Respect another fisherman's raise.

8. When another angler has hooked a fish, reel in until the fish has been landed or released.

9. Be willing to help land a fish when asked.

10. Do not disturb salmon waters unduly.

11. We encourage the use of barbless hooks.

12. Obey the four fish hook and release per day ruling.

The Code of Ethics is distributed on cards provided from a Fund established in 1991 by the friends of well known Sherbrooke guide and angler Lockie Weir, in his memory, to promote courtesy among anglers on the river.
