No Sacking of fish
Never leave a fish unattended on an unhooking mat
Ensure the mat and sling are wet before use
When holding fish for photographs
Never stand to have your picture taken or hold the carp too high above the mat
Support the carps weight with both hands underneath
Do not lean or rest the fish on its stomach
If a carp flaps whilst raised, cradle it towards your body to prevent the fish falling, you may get messy but it will prevent fatal injury
Always use your sling or unhooking mat to return the fish to the water. Never carry it yourself
Thanks in advance for your co-operation in safe guarding the welfare of our fish and the environment
