  1. We do not spill or dump gasoline, oil or other pollutants on land or into the water.
  2. When fishing we never leave trash behind, including worn or discarded line, old hooks and bait.
  3. We leave our fishing site as clean or cleaner than we found it.
  4. We report environmental damage and pollution to the relevant authorities.
  5. When boating or anchoring, we take care to avoid damaging sensitive areas.
  6. We do our best to prevent the spread of exotic plants and animals.
  7. We never use as live bait fish that do not normally reside in the waters we are fishing, nor do we introduce exotic species that may survive and reproduce into fishing waters.
  8. We use only legal tackle, attend to our gear and value our catch.
