I've been watching the "New Fly Fisher" which broadcast Sunday
mornings. Yesterday I learned that if you turn a fish upside down
while they're in the water, they'll lose equilibrium and won't struggle.
Makes it easy to unhook and release them.

That's a well known way to avoid having to use a net. Coupled with a
barbless
hook it's about the least stressful way to turn a caught fish loose...

Great to learn new things.
