Fishrmn, that reminds me of a funny story....quite a few years ago, i was fishing at Minersville from my tube and had kept a 26 inch bow. I had that fish attached to some rope alongside my tube and had continued fishing. After a while, a bunch of other fly fishermen showed up with a guide and I was berated several times by these guys for legally keeping a fish. The funny thing is that many of these guys had their drags set so loosely that they were unable to quickly catch and release their fish. As a result, I was later able to berate these same guys for killing a lot more fish than I had!
You are right, this time of year it is really important to bring fish in quickly and handle them as little as possible...they can be really stressed and die easily from too much handling and stress from being caught.
