Yeah sometimes l might swim a rainbow for up to 4 or 5 minutes before they come good,in saying that though at 5 mins they usually end up on the table.mazman wrote:I believe rainbow trout require more oxygen hence the longer recovery and their tendency to sit in the faster water while browns dominate the backwaters.meppstas wrote:Well done on your catches with some nice trout being caught.. You're right about the rainbows they do take some time to recover as they stress out very quickly and can go belly up, where as the browns are a much stronger fish and have a much better survival rate.. great day on the water.. :thumbsup:

The brown l caught sat in my net in the water for no more than 30 sec and he was right to go,so they must be stronger fish as Adrian said.
