Wet gills equal future thrills! Show your

support, get a CalTrout Keep 'Em Wet sweatshirt.

Keep 'Em Wet refers to keeping your catch underwater.

Research shows that prolonged exposure to air greatly reduces

a trout, salmon or steelheads ability to recover after a fight and severely reduces productivity at spawning. While we have all

been guilty of those big, grip and grin hero shots, CalTrout is

making an effort to promote keeping your catch wet.

We suggest you try new creative camera angles to showcase

the beauty or size of your catch without hoisting them

up onto the bank or lifting them up into the

air for a prolonged period.

For some suggestions on photo angles and techniques

check out the Native Fish Society's Keep 'Em Wet page.
