Gently hold fish in the current and allow it time to resuscitate. An erect dorsal fin indicates the fish is recharged.
Watch the fish as it swims away. If it falters, repeat the resuscitation process.
Monitor water temperatures on the stretches that you fish. Sustained water temps of 70 degrees or above mean that trout will not survive a release, either keep or, better yet, fish another stretch. (Go towww.70degreepledge.org to learn more.)
