Our family have always been avid out doors enthusiasts who try to leave our environment in better shape than we found it. We strongly believe in utilizating conservation practices that will ensure that our grandchildren will have access to the kind of environment and resources that we have been so fortunate to experience throughout our lives.
CONSERVATION PRACTICES
A decade ago we decided to make a strong commitment to adopting solid conservation practices and encouraging our guests to voluntarily use fishing techniques that would support conservation. As a result of these beliefs and practices and continued great ideas and support from our guests, fishing has never been better! We now have strong confidence that future generations will have great fishing experiences. At Howey Bay Resort we provide free Conservation fishing licenses to encourage fewer fish being taken home, we encourage guests to release the larger fish and eat the smaller fish, and we encourage guests to utilize effective techniques for fishing and handling fish.
At our fly-in outposts, with the exception of one lake, guests can eat fish and other fish must remain in the lake. No fish can be taken home which results in the larger fish being thrown back to reproduce and further improve the fishery. Many of our guests voluntarily use barbless hooks, are very careful when handling fish and don’t even measure larger fish. A quick picture and back in the water is the rule for many people!
