Photos: Must show the entire fish in a healthy state, your token, and a fish measuring device(measuring board, tape measure etc). Please review and follow these photo requirement/suggestions.
5. Catch and Release/Fish Handling/Barbs:
Measuring Fish Length (from Alberta SRD) Length – The total length (maximum) of a fish is measured from the tip of the nose or jaw to the tip of the tail fin, with the tail pinched. NOTE: When measuring a fish either lay the fish on or directly beside the tape so that it can be easily read. Do not set the tape on top of the fish or far away so that an accurate measurement is not possible. Please avoid using flexible tape measures as they are less accurate and also know that a yellow measuring tape is usually easier to read in a photo then a white one. As mentioned above a fish measuring device makes measuring and photos much easier and I highly recommend using one. You can either make one or buy them at most fishing stores. C&R Fish Handling Technique C&R Fish handling is all about doing the least harm possible to the fish, some ways to do this include.
Very Important: Remember to have fun out there and good luck to everyone who participates. |

Brown Trout - 20 inches. |
Guys please refrain from using soft measuring tapes unless you forget other one etc.
As for Prussian Carp I don't feel they deserve their own category but I will count them towards the sucker category. |
