Give the fish their best chances of survival by following these catch-and-release
tips:
| --Use hooks with barbs squeezed shut.
--Avoid excessive handling of fish. Excessive handling could remove mucous that covers the fish's body to protect it from infection. --If you must handle the trout, gently cradle the fish upside down to reduce struggling while the hook is removed. --Hold fish firmly. A fish dropped on the ground or in a boat has a poor chance of recovery. --When removing hooks, grasp large-mouthed fish by the lower jaw with your thumb and forefinger. Use wet hands to grasp small fish around the mid-section. --Carry a hook disgorger or needlenose pliers to back the hook out. --Never pull a hook from the throat or stomach of a fish; it is better to cut the line and let the hook work itself out. --Never put your fingers in the gills or eye sockets. --If the fish appears exhausted, hold it in the water facing upstream until it swims out of your hand. - Arleasha Mays
