Tail & Keepemwet Fishing Spring Photo Contest 2018
Tail Fly Fishing Magazine and Keepemwet Fishing are pleased to announce the #Keepemwet photo contest, in partnership with Nautilus Reels and Costa Sunglasses. The contest seeks to promote good fish handling practices for catch and release fishing while celebrating your awesome saltwater catches. The contest will run for two weeks from March 7- March 21.
To enter, follow Tail Fly Fishing Magazine and Keepemwet Fishing on Instagram and post your best saltwater fly fishing shots (up to three per person) to Instagram with #keepemwetfishing #tailflyfishingmag and #tailkeepemwet.
Fish handling rules: All pictured fish must be in or partially in the water, or just above the water and visibly dripping wet. No exceptions – we want to see your creativity while ensuring a healthy release. Using wet hands free of sunscreen and keeping air exposure to a minimum are both critical to making sure fish have a fighting chance post-release. You can read all the Keepemwet Principles here: https://www.keepemwet.org/principles-2.
