Re: Stocked trout mortality rates...
Surival rates for any game fiash especially trout has a lot to do with water temps.Once over 60 degrees I'm convinced it goes down hill,one reason I do not fish summer trout anymore.
Heavily oyxgentated cold water ups their surival chances signifiacantly, if properly handled. I release mine forgoing even a qick pic,often w/o even touching fish to give them a fighting chance for survival. I contuine to believe even a short time out of water once released can cut chances dramatically.
