Lindy Fish Handling Gloves: Protecting Fish and Your Hands
Learn the benefits of Fish Handling Gloves for conservation and safety and how to maximize those benefits.
“Net?” I asked, as my 15-year-old son Nathaniel gained control of a good trout and worked it close.
“I’ll use the glove,” he said, as he held the line tight with his rod and used his other hand to pull a Lindy Fish Handling Glove from his back pocket.
Well-rehearsed from many previous fish, Nathaniel slid his hand into the glove, maneuvered the fish to good angle and then stabbed like a heron nabbing a baitfish to grab the trout by the base of the tail. He then set down his rod, slid his rod hand under the trout’s belly, showed the fish to me, removed a barbless single hook and let the trout go, having never taken it out of the water.
