If the amount of pollution in our rivers and lakes continues growing at current rates, it could mean the end of the fishing as we know it.
According to the latest Environmental Protection Agency (EPA ) National Lake Assessment and National Water, River and Streams Assessment:
“50% of our rivers and streams and about 35% of our lakes are so polluted that they are unfit for fishing, swimming or drinking.”
If you’re a fisherman, you’ve seen it countless times: a big, tangled mess of used fishing line washed up on a shoreline or caught in offshore structure - All the places YOU want to fish.
These tangled messes of used line and other plastic pollution are extremely dangerous to fish.
As fisherman, it is OUR responsibility to end this.
A lot more than you think…
1) Properly dispose of any chemicals or non bio-degradable items. If in doubt: don’t throw anything in the water. EVER.
2) Reduce, reuse, recycle everything you use: more specifically plastic baits or fishing line every time you are out fishing.
We have created plug-and-play solutions for fishermen and retailers to make it easy to recycle used fishing line, broken plastic baits, as well as ways to donate gently used fishing rods.
