You wouldn't need to keep listening to me if you heard me to begin

the water or people who catch and release. I've explained that several

anything...)

Do you recall the information about trout (and other salmonoids) not
being bothered in the least by icy water? They are NOT anesthetized
by it. Not that, by now, I'd have expected you to have paid attention
to verifiable facts.

By the by, what's that woman's Ph.D. field? What are her peer
reviewed papers?

You have obviously never stood / waded in water with a current. You
don't have anything in there that the current can grab and take,
pulling you under / along with it.

Hmm. You go try it. Find a nice trout stream, wade out to your waist
with something nice and floatie tied onto you. Then come back and
tell us more. But it's more likely you'd find yourself becoming one
with the fishes. They do like to nibble on unresisting flesh.
