Below freezing air temperatures can harm the gill filaments and eye lenses on trout. When fishing in freezing conditions try not to remove the fish from the water, and do what ever is necessary to keep the heads of the trout fully submerged when executing a release and revival. Do not net or “bounce” them on a snow or ice bank, it is a death sentence. [/green][/size][/font][/left]
