Trout tickling is the art of rubbing the underbelly of a trout using fingers.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.flyfishingline.net/trout-tickling-catching-fish-bare-hands )〕 If done properly, the trout will go into a trance-like state after a minute or so, and can then easily be thrown onto the nearest bit of dry land.〔Brian Morgan. (Story of the Virgin Soldier (Trout Tickling) ): Part of the BBC's ''WWII People's War'' Series. 12 May 2005. Article ID A4057706. Accessed on: 16-1-07.〕 == History == Trout tickling has been practiced for many centuries. It is mentioned in Shakespeare's comedy ''Twelfth Night'', where it is used as a metaphor for bamboozlement by Olivia's servant Maria, who is about to play a vengeful prank on the pompous steward, Malvolio:
The technique was a common practice used by boys, poachers and working men in times of economic stress, particularly during the 1930s depression-era.〔(1941 U.S. Parks and Wildlife Service article )〕 Poachers using the method required no nets, rods or lines or any other incriminating equipment if apprehended by the police or gamekeepers. Thomas Martindale's 1901 book, ''Sport, Indeed'', describes the method used on trout in the River Wear in County Durham: In Scotland the technique is more often called "guddling" or sometimes "ginniling". The practice is currently illegal under most circumstances in Britain.〔See for example: (Introduction to the Regional Rod Fishing Byelaws ) ''Environment Agency''. Retrieved 19 October 2012.〕 A related method of catching catfish by hand is called noodling in the U.S.A. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Trout tickling」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
