You cannot get a good picture of a steelhead you are going to release with the fish NOT being harmed no matter how hard you try! More of the proponents to C&R are advocating taking a picture of the pretty little fish. Either after it has been netted, pulled up on the beach or completely wore out on the end of the line!
We all know that to properly turn a fish loose we need to land it as quickly as possible..... handle it none or very little and get it swimming free as sson as possible.....right? Take a picture of it in the water or leave the camera at home.
