Put And Take
concept
Put and take is a concept that allows people to fish in areas where the natural fish stocks are highly threatened, where fish are bred in closed breeding facilities, and let out in a large body of water from where fish can be caught.
The benefits of Put and Take fishing for the ordinary angler, is that there is guaranteed to be fish in the area, which can with some luck and skill be caught by even the most novice angler.. Most Put and Take systems are also handicap friendly and allows for wheel chair access to the fishing area, something which often prevents most wheel chair people from ever being able to fish.
Even though there is a fish guarantee, there is unfortunately a lot of people who seem unable to manage to catch fish in these lakes, and become disheartened. A common cause of these fish-less trips is that people have very little understanding of fishing in these lakes. Some basic knowledge goes a long way towards improving your success.
Politics and Morality
A lot of debate about the morality of the concept, and has as usual become a hot issue. Some people think it is morally wrong to breed fish for the use in Put and Take fishing, however, in reality it is not all that different to what is happening in the majority of streams in some countries such as Denmark, where to strengthen the natural stream fish populations, fish are bred in breeding facilities and then let out into the streams, in the hope that the population can be str Heldigvis er Danskere ikke dummere end som så (selvom om politikerne giver indtryk af det), Jeg tror det var løst ved at man skiftede til at gløgg kostede lidt mere, og æbleskiverne var gratis.
engthened. So a lot of puritans arguing that Put and Take fishing should be banned, really needs to consider what we are doing to nature, hunting threatened fish stocks, and artificially boosting the populations so that they can survive the fishing pressure.
The effect of Put and Take fishing has a positive effect on the environment, in that fewer anglers are putting pressure on natural resources, and as such can possibly help the environment recover from the massive overfishing of past generations.
