Evidently trout blood does not contain clotting agents like animals do and so bleed profusely
and die.When a trout seems to recover it is only from the stress from being caught and the build up
of lactic acid.I suspect most bleeders will cark it sooner or later.To take a trout in such cirumstances
is up to the angler to be prepared to risk losing his fishing gear over a feed of trout.I take wasabi and soy with me so then you can neck it in hurry if the need arises.
