The welfare of fish must be the first concern of every angler and RADAC expects its members to act in such a way as to conform to, and promote, best practice in this area. As there are differing views on what constitutes best practice the Committee expects members to carefully consider the welfare of the species that they fish for and to obtain the best guidance that they can. In this context members may wish to consult the web sites of such groups as the Barbel Society, the Pike Anglers Club of Great Britain and the Specialist Anglers Alliance.
