Pike v. Lakeview Fishing Lodge: the photo was the promise
The lodge advertised catch and release. Our client has the photo, and the scar, to show it was neither.
Case
Our client was caught, photographed and, as the brochure promised, released. Then caught again, the same afternoon, by the same guest, for a better photo.
The lodge has agreed to a one-catch-per-guest policy and to fund a spawning bed restoration. Pascale Brochet, who argued the case, described the settlement as “a good start”.
