good trip out..
Rich ....looks fun..nice browns!
I hope I'm not insulting you...but just a comment on the C and R, I noticed you lads handled the trout with dry hands... I have seen many dead trout on creek banks with fungus and sores on the side.
A simple wetting of the hand before you take the trout out of the water saves the protective membrane from adhering to your hand and gives that gorgeous trout a near 100 percent survival chance.
I have fished alot of trout and salmon in my youth and had that point drilled home to me on many occasions, so please don't take offence....maybe I missed you guys dipping your hands first, if so..I apologize...
But I liked your video...all our water is still frozen solid up here.
Cheers....keep making the clips bud! good stuff!

Thnx everyone,
and waterfowler I appreciate the comment. I've said many times that I'm not much of a trout fisherman so comments like that are really helpful. From now on I will wet my hands everytime.. even though my hand usually gets wet as I reach for the fish, not always so I will make it a point to do it everytime now. Also I will attach my pliers to my with a rope
if you noticed I had lost my pliers on the way in so we were forced to de-hook with our hands which wasted a lot of time getting the fish back to the water.
All important tips for next time, and appreciated.
