Posts Tagged soft plastic lures

As an angler, I am very concerned with conservation to ensure that I and the generations that follow can go fishing.  I was sent an article yesterday that I found really interesting.  It dealt with why fish were skinny in a small private lake.  Their conclusion after research was that the fish were eating soft plastics and could not digest them.  In turn the soft plastic blocked the digestive track.  The fish were trying to eat but couldn’t.  This shows us just how important proper disposal of our soft plastics can be.  There are occassions where we cannot help what has happened.  An example of this is a fish pulls it off the hook.  Please do your part to keep our fish healthy and dispose of your soft plastics properly so you or someone else can enjoy the benefits of fishing.  For those interested in the article I am referring to click the link below.
