Had issues with trout not wanting to swim away at the pond I fished yesterday. Kinda makes me hesitant to fish there again; each one I caught was hard to revive. The fights were short(heavy tippet) & they were released quickly, but it took a lot of TLC to get them to swim away. I walked over to chat with the family that was fishing worm-n-bobber rigs down the shore, only to see 2 trout belly up on the bottom. Managed to retrieve the closest one & revive it. I'm fully aware that us C&R guys accidentally kill some fish, but I still don't like to see it...
Later,
Steve
