Why Proper Fishing Gear Is Important

Proper fishing gear is important for several reasons, no matter if you are fishing in a neighborhood pond, or out on the Fraser River with us.

  1. Equipment & Gear: Having the right equipment can make your fishing experience more enjoyable and successful. For example, using a fishing rod that is the right length and weight for the type of fish you are targeting can make casting and reeling in much easier and more efficient. Additionally, using the right bait, lures, and hooks can increase your chances of catching fish.

  2. Safety: Proper fishing gear can help to ensure the safety of both the angler and the fish. Fishing line that is too weak or too strong can break easily, which can cause injury to both the angler and the fish.

  3. Environment: Using the right gear can help to protect the environment. For example, using lures instead of live bait can help to reduce the impact on the ecosystem, as live bait can introduce non-native species and diseases to a waterway. Additionally, using barbless hooks can make it easier to release fish back into the water without causing injury.

In summary, proper fishing gear is important for a variety of reasons, including increased success and enjoyment, safety, and environmental conservation. We use barbless hooks, very heavy gear, and follow best handling practices for the safety of our guests and Sturgeon. Learn more about the best sturgeon fishing gear.
