Any special tips to releasing farm raised rainbow trout? The only room mate who eats them moved out recently.
I try and keep them in the water, dehook them quickly, avoid skin to scale contact and no idea if they make it through the night after that.
I usually see 8-10 dead ones laying on the bottom while I'm kayaking Alton Baker, could be bad releases or unhealthy fish to begin with. Surprised they last that long with all the birds out there
