When leaving a trout fishing habitat remember to:
1.) Remove any visible plants, fish or animals from clothing and equipment.
2.) Remove mud and dirt since it too may contain a hitchhiker.
3.) Eliminate water from all equipment before transporting anywhere.
4.) Clean and dry anything that came in contact with the water.
5.) Do not release or put plants, fish or animals into a body of water unless they came out of that body of water. Whether you have obtained bait at a store or from another body of water, do not release unused bait into the waters you are fishing
