    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds

    Sean. Unfortunately both fish sitting on the rocks, as in your pictures, have very low chances of survival. Their increased risk of infection is high, plus the trauma of being caught is enough to kill.
    Yes they will swim away fine but they have about as much chance of survival if you'd left them on the bank.

    What actually amazes me it shows how predatory wild trout can be when they take a lure half it size. Unfortunately at times they are hooked by "all" of us, and I'm sure we all try to release them the best way we can..
