COLUMBIA, SC (WOLO) – State wildlife officials are asking anglers to throw back a certain fish.
The Department of Natural Resources says if you’re fishing and you catch a Spotted Seatrout, let it live to fight another day.
A DNR spokesperson says the recent stretch of cold weather has caused Seatrout numbers to dwindle.
Throwing them back will give them a chance to breed and replenish those numbers.
