Catch and release fishing grew momentum here in Australia during the 1990s. These days our waterways are managed so that many can be harvested from while remaining sustainable, yet some, particularly the trout streams needs to be protected by using catch and release fishing practices. I do not like to force my opinions down peoples throats, that's not who I am as a person, however at the same time I wish to ensure that there is great fishing around for my kids as they grow up, and their kids after that. Trout fishing here in Australia is becoming more and more popular, while at the same time the amount of quality trout habitat is reducing due to a number of reasons. Things are warming up. Whether it is global warming? removal of willow trees leading to warmer waters? Less rainfall? More demand for irrigation? I really do not have the answers. But what I do know is that trout are not found in the lower reaches of streams like they use to be, meaning more and more people are trout fishing on less and less water.
