Fishermen ought to stop and think before they believe that rainbows caught and released at night are dying in droves. that's total b.s. by jealous guys who either don't like who's catching them, don't know how to carefully release trout or simply lack knowledge.
Very few guys are good enough to catch big numbers of rainbows at night, but even all the rainbows caught and released at night in a couple of summer months is only a small fraction of round valley reservoir trout caught when you consider all the lakers brought up from deeper, colder water than the night 'bows, dragged behind a boat by trollers up into 80-degree surface water and released almost every day in june July and August.
How could lakers survive their rough treatment on the way up from very cold water when the daytime air temps get into the 80s and 90s and surface water gets to be 75-80 degrees while only rainbows caught at night from warmer water not as deep die at night?
More people catch more numbers of lakers more often almost every day than ever even hook rainbows at night. if you think warm surface water or whatever kills only rainbows and not lakers, get real. there are far more daytime trollers catching trout than anglers fishing for rainbows at night.
