I hate to see these beautiful fish kicked back into the water. It must be the trout flyfisherman in me but, I always pick up my fish with wet hands, hold them facing upstream, and let them swim away fishy fishy fishy on their own will, even if it takes a couple minuts. I will say that it really sucks when a fish is taking it's time to swim away when it is very cold out and the water is freezing!!! cry
