Switzerland Bans Catch And Release Fishing
Friday May 9, 2008
The animal rights folks have won. Switzerland has banned catch and release fishing, requiring fishermen to "be humane" with their catch by killing it. Is the next step to ban all fishing?

I have been telling the guys for 7 years. Stop the practice of mandatory Catch and release and learn the people, the fisherman to have respect the fish and to know which is best to release and which is best to take. But NO. I was called the “carper hater”, “being against modern fishing” etc. I told them: if you will keep the strict catch and release in any open water in our country you will lose all your rights to release any fish. Now we get what we deserved. We could be smarter before.
Damm!!

Sorry for the expression but the carpers f_ _ _ ed us up.
It is almost impossible to catch a 60+ brown in upper Emme, but now if I catch it I WILL HAVE TO TAKE HER??? That is because the carpers took it so far, they didnīt here anybody and because they are the loudest fishermen ever – they just got it their way. No we all have to live with the consequences. I wish so much that we would play harder on them before. But we were polite….
It a shame.
Sounds like a mess. Can you fill us in on the details – what happened with the carp fishermen to cause this?
