I'm not trying to start something here...this is just a question from one who has not ice fished in 30 years....but whereas the trout limit there is 2 fish, does ice fishing lend itself to catch and release? I fish Henry's all the time with a fly rod and I know there is always the chance for mortality, but we try our best...net the fish and handle light and quick...and many of us use barbless hooks to boot......but what of ice fishing?
I have always wondered the impact of ice fishing waters where the limit is low...like 2 fish. Knowing me, I would probably sit up there all day staring at a hole in the ice to catch my limit of 2 fish....I guess I just can't see how ice fishing lends itself to catch and release on high fish count days.
