I Can't Find It

Folks,

 

I know that somewhere there was a very good posting about trout survival depending on time out of the water. I've looked high and low. Does anyone know where it is.

 

Thanx,

 

Don

I really thought this post was about something completely different Don.

that is a great read. Is it wrong to repost that every year?

SanJuanWorm & birchy,

 

You guys been fishing cuts for far too long. You're getting easy and I was using a 0X tippet.

And that is the article I was looking for - I had the research reference but not the article.

 

My thanx,

That article reminded me again how many people think it's ok to quickly move a fish back and forth in the water to "revive" it. All that accomplishes is an artificial infusion of oxygen, extra stress, and the fish takes off (due to the extra oxygen) and then has a very high chance of death, becuase it never did properly recover (by resting and breathing normally for as long as it takes), instead of the opposite.
