Alaska Rainbow Trout

You can’t always hold onto your fish for a photo…

Alaska Rainbow Trout

Try kneeling in shallow water just in case…

Remember… kneel down in shallow water when handling a fish for a photo. If you do drop it the fish doesn’t have far to fall, and the cushion of some water is way better than a head dive onto the rocks from waist or chest high. A drop from this distance is often fatal.

Of course, wet your hands before handling fish and keep them out of the water for only a few seconds… no fish is worth killing just for bragging rights.
