using the river tromyzon trick, I will often intentionally miss and scare the non-trom's away.. and shortly after they stop showing up via dye you will hear another spawn and see it instantly. Since on the river/lake ridge they will spawn literally below you, you can easily push 3-4-5 tinks away through careful missing and instantly see 3-4-5 fish show up right below you.. thus leading me to believe that each spawn stays active until you catch them, even if they get away. This being the case, it's better to scare off unwanted or common fish to try and increase spawn rates of rarer fish.

Unfortunately I haven't found a cave with a pond big enough that you can consistently scare off fish.. nor do any of them have a good enough spawn system to be able to get fish as fast as you can using the trom trick.
