Catch and release pay lakes

62 pay lakes in 22 states say they run catch and release fishing, either for every fish or on certain ponds.

Catch and release pay lakes charge for time on the water and ask you to return every fish, so stocked fish grow large. Many require barbless hooks or ban treble hooks. Each listing shows the rules the lake publishes.
