It makes me a little nervous, I have never seen one this far up. Caught with a barbless hook and handled with wet hands, released as the laws state, but wondering if it is a good idea to release what is an invasive in a body of water with native brook trout.
Honestly, I am not proud of this. It was Handled with wet hands and was caught and released on a barbless hook, but it did flop on the ground and get dirt on it.
My first observation on iNaturalist.
