mic Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 Pardon me for missing the point here. Is there something illegal as to what he has done? No...the theory is that laying the fish on dry rocks will wipe the slim off the fish which can lead to skin infections and kill the fish. I don't know if it is true, but it makes sense. Maybe one of our biology majors can add something useful to the conversation

His father touches the Claw in spite of Kevin's warnings and breaks two legs just as a thunderstorm tears the house apart. Kevin runs away with the Claw. He becomes captain of the Greasy Bastard, a small ship carrying rubber goods between England and Burma. Michael Palin, Terry Jones, 1974

Maybe one of our biology majors can add something useful to the conversation What I am asking, is this a no creel stretch of river that does not allow you to remove the fish from the water, or a strictly enforced length limit which would require a short fish to be returned to the water immediately, or someone just pitching a fit because they sport a c and r bumper sticker that was furnished by the local fly shop.
Members WaderFarts Posted January 12, 2012 Members Posted January 12, 2012 Laker67, you are excused. I did not say there was anything illegal about throwing trout on the rocks ( or sand in the case of some recently posted photos of brown trout on the current river thread) to take poor quality photos of. Funny you should mention legality issues, when upon closer inspection one might notice the soft hackle fly imbeded in the side of trout picture number two. While accepted as a long standing traditionally respected method of angling by taney outlet pounders and park rats, snagging is frowned upon by anyone with the slightest bit of self respect. Props to you mdrstl, most people wouldn't post incriminating photos of themselves on the internet, blatant disrespect for trout and ethical angling...don't fear though rps and the rest of the snagger crew will have your back

Buzz Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 Sorry, but I don't think what you are seeing is a soft hackle. Look at it closely. The problem is your attitude toward the poster. Mdrstl put a valid question out there. Do you have a reasonable answer????? Or are you just stirring the pot? If fishing was easy it would be called catching.
ozark trout fisher Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 I'm not alarmed at the trout in your photos or your ironic concern for their health, however your habit of laying small trout out on the gravel while you snap poor quality photos is an irritating trend afflicting far to many anglers on this forum...what do you do with these crummy photos anyway? Whether or not you have a point about the ethics of taking pictures of wild trout like that, there is a right way and a wrong way to say things sometimes. And this is definitely the wrong way. Nice fish by the way.
Trout Commander Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 I'm not alarmed at the trout in your photos or your ironic concern for their health, however your habit of laying small trout out on the gravel while you snap poor quality photos is an irritating trend afflicting far to many anglers on this forum...what do you do with these crummy photos anyway? terrible for the fish and you should not do it. X1000 I'm sorry. That's a fifteen yard penalty from the spot of the infraction for unsportsmanlike conduct. If this post will be typical of your input, go away. How many yards for unsportsmanlike conduct on the original poster for his pictured infractions, ref? Pardon me for missing the point here. Is there something illegal as to what he has done? Last I heard stupidity still isn't punishable by law. No...the theory is that laying the fish on dry rocks will wipe the slim off the fish which can lead to skin infections and kill the fish. I don't know if it is true, but it makes sense. Maybe one of our biology majors can add something useful to the conversation This is exactly why you don't do it. I have spent most of my money on fly fishing and beer. The rest I just wasted. The latest Trout Commander blog post: Niangua River Six Pack
laker67 Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 I'm sorry tc and wf, but some of you guys are way to hung up on what to do, or not to do after a fish is caught.
