S.A.F.E. Angling
Recycled Fish gets anglers involved as stewards of the resource both on and off the water.
"S.A.F.E. Angling," equips you with the practices and products you need to be a steward on the water.
Troll around in here to learn about reduced-impact gear like lead-free lures, biodegradable baits, hooks, and angling accessories like nets and scales. We'’ll pair those with catch-and-release techniques and other on-the-water tactics to set you up as a steward no matter where you fish, or what you fish for.
These products and practices are good for the fish, the fisheries, and us fishers! None of them are difficult to employ, they just require a slight difference in the way we think about what we’ve already been doing. A change in conscience leads to a conscious change!
So with that, "S.A.F.E. Angling!"

In the northern part of the country, the landscape is covered in ice and snow. For some anglers, relief only comes in the form of sports and outdoor expos, fishing TV shows or DVDs, hours at the fly tying bench or and sorting, repairing, and modifying gear in... Read more...
Stewardship Living – On the Water
We’re all agreed that a lifestyle of stewardship means living as a steward both on and off the water. We’ve discovered that that off the water, it’s stuff like how we maintain our lawns and whether or not we’re using low flow shower heads. On the water, it all started with Catch and Release and...

One Blue Worm at a Time

I’m sitting here with a pack of tube jigs, 4” smoke color, and two Rapala Countdown minnowbaits, CD-7’s, one in Trout and the other in Perch. Everything is quiet. I’m drinking a Diet Coke.
It’s been a typically long week at work, so after my... Read more...
