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.
Wet gills equal future thrills! Show your
support, get a CalTrout Keep 'Em Wet
sweatshirt.
