Fishing is a wonderful
activity.
It is a door to personal
understanding of the aquatic environment.
Through fishing, I am reminded
that we are part of the natural world
and that we need to exercise
careful stewardship of our natural resources.
Fishing does not have to be
expensive!

Getting the Lead Out! Lead from fishing kills loons and other waterfowl. Go lead free. This simple change in fishing tackle can have tremendous benefits for loons and other wildlife! Wire, buttons, and even nails can replace lead in your jigs and flies. This image taken by Rachelle Engelman shows swans swimming at Go lead free! |
"
Fishermen, hunters, wood choppers, and
others, spending their lives in the fields and woods, in a peculiar
sense
a part of Nature themselves, are often in a more favorable
mood
for observing her, in the intervals of their pursuits, than
philosophers or poets even, who approach her with expectation."
from
Walden, by Henry David Thoreau
