| Our definition of sportfishing is an activity where one strives after recreational adventure and not to catch fish to eat, but to catch and then release them. |
| The excitement is to attract the fish with a fly which you have tied yourself which itīs appearance and movements represent a natural insect. |
| This requires knowledge in many different areas and close observation is absolutely necessary in order to succeed in the first stage: to get a strike. The second stage in ecological fishing is to set the fish free ( of course one must use barbless hooks so as not to injure the fish ). |
| Fishing in this manner gives the ecological fisherman double luck: first succeeding in catching the fish after many hours of observation, reading, and flytying. Then to release the fish and everything becoming the same as it was. |
| When you come to this second part of luck it means that you have not only matured as a fisherman but as a person. The ecological manner of fishing means much more than just fishing it means a different point of view and another lifestyle, a lifestyle in harmony with nature. |
