In responce to your statement about spin fishing. If your reference is to bait fishing, yes mortatility is quite high, but with my many years of spin fishing with crank baits, spoons, and micro jigs, my experiance is that there is not much difference between that and fly fishing. Less than 1% of the time would a hook be in a position to cause mortatility. Now keep in mind I am not a trophy fisher. Maybe if I was only after big fish it may be different, big mouth, small bait may lead to deeper hook sets. I gave up bait fishing because of the high mortality rate. I wanted to catch and release.
All of this is, of course, is affected by how the fish is handeled by person catching it. Drag it up the bank through the sand, gravel, and weeds, yeah, stick it on the stringer. It,s done for. If your wading in the river, do not lift the fish out of the water, and use hemos to take out the hooks, you will be succesfull in keeping down the kill ratio.
I have also found naturally spawned fish at Roaring River. Sounds unlikely, but hey were less than 3 inches long. So small that they would fall through the nets the stockers use. They had all their fins, and par marks. I have also found the redds there, several times. That is a healthy stream, in spite of all that goes on around it. Another mennace to a succesfukk spawn is the number of bumpy heads in a stream. They are extremely agressive. If a body of water has many of those in it, times will be rough for the fry.
Just my experiance and opinion.
Chuck
