I accumulated two great signs over the years. Each of them in one of the two previous campers I had. One in an old Alaskan and the other in a Lance....

and another attributed to the ancient Sumerians or some long, lost civilization...

On the way to visit an old fishing bud at his new place in VT Mama Squatch found a cool cabin sign in a diner we stopped at. I bought it for his house.

 

Fish Camp

If you don't fish you have to cook.

If you don't cook you have to fish.

If you don't do either you have to leave!

 

 

We fished and ate well the entire week!

Maybe a revised version would be...

 

If you CATCH fish, you don't have to cook.

If YOU don't catch fish, you have to cook someone else's fish.

If you don't do either one, you have to CLEAN UP.

What happens if you are a "catch and release" fisher?

Shouldn't that be: "Catch, fillet, & release?"

Kind of a step further than..."Fish....or cut bait!"

Note it doesn't say you have to cook fish you catch. Or catch fish to eat.

 

For the most part my Bud and I are CPR fishermen. Catch, Photo, Release.

 

Normally I river fish for smallmouth bass. This is a slow growing fish with a long life cycle. They take a few years to mature into breeders. A large trophy size fish is often a very old female breeder.

 

I don't eat smallmouth. Mainly just panfish. I only eat them fresh. As in the day they are caught.

 

But occasionally we will eat fish we catch in small quantities. In the case of this trip we did eat one lake trout which are quite common in the lake it was caught in. And it was delicious!

 

And just to stay on topic it was eaten while drinking a fine Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale!

Thanks Squatch.

I have been know to eat what I catch,but only if I am in or near camp.

I don't put fish on a stringer for later.

Actually most of the places I fish are 1. don't catch anything, 2.can't keep what I catch, 3.to far from a cooking source to eat.

So to catch,photo,release works.

I love fresh fish just don't get the chance to do that on a camping trip.
