Now that the winter months are here and there is snow on the riverbanks and many of our lakes have a fishable layer of ice I'd like to share another proper release tip that I have learned from a very prominent idaho steelheader. If you plan on releasing fish do not let the sit in the snow for pics or unhooking if you can help it. Letting a fish sit in the snow is extremely bad for fish that are going to be released.
