Fisheries / fishing
French term or phrase: rushes
Hello,

This fisherman is talking about how to avoid getting one's fingers caught in the line during "rushes", this is an "anglicisme" but I'm not sure about the best way to render it, should I keep "rush", or put "mad rush", or maybe "frenzy", etc, I understand the rush being after the angler has got a fish on the hook and is trying to bring it in.

"j’en profite pour rappeler qu’il faut rester extrêmement prudent et toujours tenir ses doigts à distance lors des rushes si l’on ne veut pas se faire sérieusement entailler."

Thank you!

rush / swarm
Explanation:
Low because it is not one of my fields, but please see reference.

I don't think rush is being used in the normal sense, but when a shoal of fish (or a rush) suddenly appears one needs to be careful.

"Let the hooked fish run until it stops. Any attempt to stop the run by pressing your thumb on the spool will get your thumb burnt, or if you try to lock your drag tighter, it will result in a break line."

Why Do Fish Run When Hooked?
"Once hooked, fish feel the pressure from the tight line, and bolt in panic, away from the pressure. So, if you take away the tight-line pressure, what will the fish do? Stop running?"
