Rainbow Trout in Double Pipe Creek

Type: Nontidal
Region: Western
Location: Double Pipe Creek

On March 1st I caught a 20-inch rainbow trout on a beetle spin with white grub in Double Pipe Creek. I normally pinch the barb closed on hooks, but this time I neglected to do so which made unhooking the trout more difficult for me and the fish. Rather than keeping the fish out of water longer and worsening the harm done, I returned this beauty to the creek without taking a photo
