Since we can't keep trout, I struggle with targeting them right now, but I love to fish for them.
I want to maximize their chance of survival. I know handling them is bad- any tips on that?
I thought about filling a litter box with an inch or two of water and laying the net down in that box for hook removal. I use a rubber net, so that helps.
You could then release the fish directly from the net without ever picking it up directly. Any thoughts ? Am i overthinking this (I do that a lot - or so she says)
