Thanks for the good info Luis.

Due to the frail nature of trout... I don't target them as often as other fish... If I do it is to keep them to eat... Fly fishing and creeking for smallish trout is something I lov3e to do but limit my trips per year so as to not over fish those areas. Bottom line I guess is trout are for eating...
