just happened on this today
One thing I’m extremely passionate about is spreading the word on the dangers of wearing gloves while handling fish.
This featured video was originally created by Sean Dolan:
“You have just removed it's only protection from pathogens and diseases found in the water. Most commonly for Atlantic Salmon and Brook Trout is saprolegnia (fungus) that will grow on the open wound and eventually take over and kill the fish or make an easy meal for predators.”
We can’t stress enough how damaging it is to fish when anglers handle them with gloves on.
As I, and many others, have seen the irreparable harm cause by all types of gloves, from SPF to wool and to many species.
So next time you net a picture worth fish, no matter how uncomfortable your hands are... please take your gloves off and wet your hands before handling a fish. It could mean life or death.
