NOTES ON RAINBOW TROUT. 65 



for instance, if an undersized fish is caught it is, in common parlance, 

 " thrown back," and is often in reality so treated. Too much care 

 cannot be taken in replacing fish. If put back gently and held for a 

 few seconds in a proper position, back up, they will soon recover from 

 their exhaustion and glide away unharmed; whereas, if "thrown in," 

 or dropped in in a careless manner, they will turn belly up, and probably 

 never recover. 



When all precautions are taken, and your waters have been intelli- 

 gently treated, and suitable spawning redds are provided, you will never 

 regret having stocked with rainbows, for the sport you will obtain 

 from them will more than amply repay you for the trouble you may 

 have taken.
