Swap your trebles for singles
Buy a net

Whats your point?

Whilst I fully understand your convictions @kiwijames these a all wild trout and the catchment is quite plentiful, hence the all year round fishing, no size limit and yes treble hooks are allowed. In my opinion landing it on the bank removing hook and releasing them would be just as quick if not quicker then a net after a "posh" pose photo opportunity holding the fish. I often sit down the river and just count and watch fish, yesterday alone in a small pool 8 decent fish in 20 minutes.
Said fish swimming away no lung operation or snuff movie required.

So because they are wild does it mean you can abuse them or is it because they are plentiful? You're really missing the whole point.

It's the enjoyable about fishing ,nice fish bomber .

Stuck at Jacobs pool tonight as I wasn't crossing.

Trout have more to worry about than fisher people in these waters.

I'm guessing shag attack as a juvenille.
Only two hooks pulled that one in @kiwijames
Smacked it on the head and gutted it in the river and eels bloody near ate it out of my hands.
More food for the family
