On The Rise
On The Rise is where we share the observations, lessons, and stories that come from time spent outside. It is a place for practical gear knowledge, thoughtful conservation guidance, and insights from anglers who value the craft and meaning of fishing. Whether the topic is fish health, net design, or the small details that shape a day on the river, On The Rise reflects Rising’s belief that fishing is richer when approached with intention and respect for the places that make it possible.
Catch & Care
Catch and release is only part of the story. What matters most is how the fish returns to the river. Catch & Care is about landing fish quickly, keeping them in the water, and handling them gently so they can recover and swim away strong. Small choices in the moment make a big difference for the fish and for the rivers we love.
Debarbing Hooks
Debarbing a hook is one of the simplest ways to improve fish safety, comply with regulations, and keep everyone in the boat out of the emergency room. Whether required on regulated rivers, chosen for a more sporting fight, or used to make hook removal easier, a proper debarb starts with the right tool. Rising pliers and debarbing tools flatten barbs cleanly and consistently, which means faster releases, less handling, and safer fishing for both anglers and fish.
