How to Clean Your Gear in 3 Easy Steps
1. CLEAN
Clean your gear with water and a stiff brush, removing any materials. Use the water you’ve just fished in or a clean water source.
2. DRAIN:
Drain any standing water from your gear. Use a sponge to get water out of any undrainable spaces.
3. DRY:
When possible, completely dry your gear before you use it again. Sunshine is best; air or a heat-source work, too.
Only release live fish in their home waters. Don’t dump bait. Drain your boat & livewell before leaving the access site. It really is this easy. Take these simple steps every time you fish to be sure you’re not moving invasive species from one waterbody to another.
