Preventing Fishing Injuries

Fishing seems like a fairly safe sport, but serious injuries can occur if you do not remain alert and take appropriate precautions.

This can be prevented:

• In addition to following water safety procedures, always wear eye protection.
• According to the Coalition to Prevent Sports Eye Injuries, over one-third of fishing injuries involve hooks to the eye.
• Alertness is important - always know the location of your own line and the lines of everyone around you.
• But you can prevent inevitable accidents from turning into catastrophes by wearing sunglasses specifically designed for fishing.
• Fishing sunglasses not only protect your eyes from hooks, they also protect against direct and reflected UV radiation, the leading cause of cataracts, as well as improving your vision on the water.

Take care, and happy fishing.
