"Chech fishing pics" (aka "Trying to avoid Tarding Up the Other Threads")

This one I can only take 'some' credit for.  My 2 new friends, Marcus and Marvin (pictured here) fished alongside me for the past few days.  The river is popular, and people are spread all over, but we've bonded and had fun.  We had dinner last night in Basalt.

Anyhow, Marcus hooked this big Rainbow Trout, but couldn't net it in the current.  So I walked over from downstream and netted it.  Beautiful fish.  And since I had a camera, I took pics for him, including underwater pics.

Some fish (Brown Trout) I caught yesterday (Sunday):

Great pics, Chech. Glad you are having such great success. Are y'all cooking any of those or are they all catch and release?

No, catch and release.  I'm not much into keeping fish; fish til dark and eat when you arrive home!  The last 3 nights I've fished daylight to dark.  And I've eaten brisket, elk meatloaf, and prime rib (nightly specials at the local grill/bar).  Great food!!

I'm going to give the other fisherman a 9 on his Swan Dive.

I notice that the netting on your dip net is made of plastic, that is something that has changed that I think does a great deal of good for catch and release. I think the old cotton netting did a lot of damage to the fish as far as removing the slime from the fish which affected the mortality rate of catch and release. This is from my days of tournament fishing and the catch and release.

We think it was made from recycled tires.

   The net also doesn't snag your hook, like the cotton nets do.  As Jamos said, other benefits too.

Travel day today, so fish pics will follow later.  I caught ~20 Rainbow and Brown Trout (all small) in Yellowstone this morning.  Here are some travel pics:
