        Knowing the Rules and Regulations

        One way to honor God and His creation is to know the rules and regulations. We know that may not necessarily trust “government,” but in this case we highly recommend that you do. There are tens of thousands of excellent people working to keep our nations outdoors and waterways clean. They know the facts.

        Treat fish with respect. Keep only what you need or want to consume. Learn how to catch fish without causing harm to species that you are not going to bring home. Take time to learn about how to dispose of old fishing lines, hooks, weights, etc. Let us work together to preserve the beauty of God’s creation.
