After reading the a little about mortality rates of c&R fish i was wondering if they differ between summer and winter runs. In the summer you have to scale down which means using smaller gear and lighter lines. This usually increases the time that you have to play the fish. So now the question: since the fish is played longer in the summer do more of them die as opposed to winter fishing when heavier gear is used? Do other factors such as water temp and current speed also play into survival? Just wondering.
