Thank you for doing the right thing that day. It’s unbelievable some of the things I find discarded in and around my local waterways.. but the number one thing is plastics.
plastic waste is a huge problem. a big cause of micro plastics in waterways is fishing equipment. i always collect my snipped lines in my bag to dispose off when i get home. no matter how small. cheers!
So sad to see. I'm glad you did something. Every time I fish I take everything i brought with me, and any trash i find that i can take with me. Respect for the sport is respect for the fish and for our land. Treat them kindly. ❤
Do your part boys, for our local river a huge group of anglers and locals come out when flows drop just to do clean ups both in water and areas around it. It’s a great thing for our local waters.
A tool we seriously need is wire cutters with the profile of needle nose pliers or forceps, so we can cut the hooks and feed the pieces out of the flesh. Regular wire cutters work beautifully on bigger fish and largemouth bass, but we need something for trout and panfish.
It's something we'd all love, but it's basically an impossible design challenge. The longer the jaw, the less leverage and clamping power you have. Also, with less material in the jaw, as in the thin needle nose shape, it is vulnerable to deformation, making the pliers/cutters useless.
Very little can be done if a line snaps with a fish hooked, I've cast netted a bass before when its happened to me, but the odds of catching the fish again are slim to none in most cases
Thank you for this. I hate when I find tangles of line on the ground at a fishing spot. In terms of the rig here, a lot of things aren't adding up. I think this might be someone else poaching like a few others mentioned.
00:29 tied to land line poaching or the warden showed up. they'll blame the state resident fishing license requirements for not being able to afford it. already happening in California. that's why they got rid of the license display law. I feel sorry for the current and next generation. in fact, they were probably watching you as you were letting their fish go. don't be surprised if theres a weed patch nearby. no joke
wow, that hadn't even crossed my mind. it was a single line with two hooks. very possible poaching activity. i'll keep an eye out for more. if i start seeing it a lot, it is definitely purposeful.
The amount of stuff that gets left behind intentionally or not, is appalling at some streams. Nothing contributes to landowners posting their land quicker than garbage strewn all over the place. There are a couple posted properties I was able to fish because I had an agreement to remove litter along the waterway. I do 1 or 2 parody videos through the year, always on the opening day and then as time permits (this years parody video was my group using household items on the first day to fish with) but I really wanted to do a video repurposing people's litter and fishing with it. maybe next year.
agreed. i take a backpack with me and have a bag for collecting trash i find. i am going to have to check out your parody videos, sounds like fun. thanks!
You would not believe all the trout with lines tangled in snags i free on a regular basis here in sw pa..these poor streams get absolutley HAMMERED on a daily basis
The hook will rust and the trout should have a good chance of surviving. Better than trying to dig the hook out. You did the right thing brother !!….good on you 👍😁❤️🎣❗️
I hate to say it but it doesn’t take a lot of intelligence to fish and so a lot of the ppl who fish have no respect, common sense or manners. I really do hate to say stuff like this but I clean up so much like and trash from other fishermen and I see type of ppl who leave it behind.
i don't think they're dumb, but many folks definitely don't respect the stream or the land. I clean up a lot of stuff as well. i'm afraid it's an uphill battle.
It's possible for them to survive but you did the right thing with both of those fish. Awesome!
thanks! that stream really warms up in the summer. it's unlikely any trout survive.
Good on you mate. You’re a good person

me too. i always have a backpack with rain gear, first aid kit, and a bag for collecting trash. thanks for your conservationism. cheers!

that's awesome! i know the local chapter of trout unlimited does a clean up every year of local waters.

true. but leaving that much line in the water seemed crazy to me. but it's looking more and more like a poaching activity.
Thanks for cleaning caring and sharing. Subscribed!
thanks!
Lots of birds lose feet, legs, wings and their lives to improperly discarded monofilament. It's a nasty environmental hazard.
yes! i collect even my small pieces of line that i cut of when putting a new fly on. i keep them in my bag and dispose of them at home.
Thank you for this. I hate when I find tangles of line on the ground at a fishing spot.

yeah, i agree. it definitely seems like poaching activity. it never dawned on me that's what it was.
The problem with trout is they are so delicate. But you did everything you could. Nice job.
thanks! they definitely are delicate.
@@theineptflyfishermanI’ve actually started using small circle hooks for trout, that helps them not get gut hooked but it still happens occasionally.

We’ve done cane poles, antique rods, handlines, xxx lures, and this year we made our own with household items
Awesome job I run into the same stuff
thanks! it's crazy, to me at least, that some folks just don't care.
Nice job doing the right thing!

yeah, it's crazy. all these streams get blitzed in the first month of the season.
What kind of people is this? Thank you Jesus for sending this man to work. Good job.
it's sad. thanks!

thanks man!
Good job.
This is why I carry a pair of long, narrow hemostats . For those fish that decide to try to swallow the fly.
i do have a pair of needle nose, but these were really deep
Looks like it could be an illegal taught line set up. Very old method that doesn't involve any sport to it.
another commenter mentioned it could be poaching. i will be keeping an eye out for this in the future.
Trot line or snapped line you think?
it didn't even cross my mind at the time, but i'm thinking it was a poaching line after some folks commented that.
I hate to say it but it doesn’t take a lot of intelligence to fish and so a lot of the ppl who fish have no respect, common sense or manners. I really do hate to say stuff like this but I clean up so much like and trash from other fishermen and I see type of ppl who leave it behind.
i don't think they're dumb, but many folks definitely don't respect the stream or the land. I clean up a lot of stuff as well. i'm afraid it's an uphill battle.
You could have done better. All you needed was a small twig with a small Y to reach inside and remove the hooks. Koodos for setting them free..
Imagine breaking off on a 10 inch trout
based on some of the comments and thinking about it, i believe this was a poaching line. but i've lost smaller fish, likely because my knot sucked. 😂
Debarb your hooks!
open borders.... good luck with that. any angler living in LA knows how bad it can get since the 80's. any clean up is just temporary
