  • How to Take Identifiable Photos of Fish

    2025-12-05

    Taking photos of wildlife can be challenging. It is not essential to photograph every point on this diagram to get an identifiable observation. Just try your best! When photographing fish, minimize air exposure by taking an underwater photo whenever possible, allowing them to breathe freely. If taking a picture outside the water, keep the fish near the water and lift it briefly for the photo, limiting air exposure to 10 seconds or less. Be sure to follow local fishing guidelines and regulations.
