It\u2019s finally summer. Goodbye homework,\nhello fun in the sun! We don\u2019t know about you, but one of our favourite ways to\nspend our sunny summer days is out on the water. You can play, swim, and even\nfish with your family. Keep these tips in mind the next time you\u2019re down by the\nlake, river or ocean and help keep our fishy friends and their homes safe!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/family-fishing-girl_outlined-small.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-592852\" width=\"515\" height=\"334\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><em>Read up on local\nrules!<\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Did you know most provinces and territories each have their own\nrules about fishing? They tell you when and where you can go out, and how many\nfish you can take home with you. All of these guidelines help keep the fish\npopulations at a healthy number. Before you start fishing, make sure you check\nout the local rules first!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><em>Fish are friends,\ntoo!<\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re fishing for fun, make sure your fishy friends are happy\nand healthy when you send them back in the water. It&#8217;s easy! Just pick the\nright kind of equipment for fish you&#8217;re looking for! That way, you can avoid\nthat pesky wrestling with your catch. Not only will it make things easier on\nyou, it also helps the fish to avoid injury after being released!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/family-fishing-green.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-592816\" width=\"515\" height=\"343\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/family-fishing-green.jpeg 612w, https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/family-fishing-green-300x200.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 515px) 100vw, 515px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><em>Leave no trail\nbehind!<\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>As Earth Rangers, we know how important it is to leave nature\nexactly how you found it (or better yet: even cleaner)! When you&#8217;re out fishing\nthis summer, take all your waste back with you. Anything left behind can hurt\nanimals and the environment. Luckily, you can usually find recycling centres\nnear many common fishing sites. Of course, accidents happen too. To be safe,\nyou can use biodegradable fishing lines and supplies! This will help keep\nharmful chemicals and plastics out of the water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Everything that comes with you should go back with you too, not\njust the equipment! It might seem fine to toss leftover bait in the water\nbefore going home\u2026 but wait! They could be invasive species, and that\u2019s really\nbad news for the ecosystem!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/family-fishing-boat_outlined-small.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-592851\" width=\"515\" height=\"334\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><em>Save those\nShorelines!<\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether fishing from land or a boat, make sure you\u2019re not hurting the plants under the water, especially near the shoreline. They are very important for all kinds of aquatic life. Be careful if you have to pass through and make sure the grown-ups remember to lift those motors until you reach deeper water!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>There you have it: some easy ways to have safe and fishy summer fun!<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"152\" src=\"\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/ShorelineSaverBanner.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-582262\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/ShorelineSaverBanner.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/ShorelineSaverBanner-300x76.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"200\" src=\"\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/shoreline-saver-sponsor-partner-logo-cabelas-manitoulin.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-592840\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/shoreline-saver-sponsor-partner-logo-cabelas-manitoulin.png 768w, https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/shoreline-saver-sponsor-partner-logo-cabelas-manitoulin-300x78.png 300w, https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/shoreline-saver-sponsor-partner-logo-cabelas-manitoulin-696x181.png 696w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ahhh!
