I was enjoying this peaceful view of the lake one morning when I noticed something glint in the sunlight. Oh no! It was a fishing line dangling from a tree, a sight I hate to see.
I've highlighted the fishing line I spied in the branches in the pic below, a hazard that can easily be removed with a little time and patience. I used a branch from the shore to loop and pull the thread, and when it was close enough for me to grip, I pulled the branches towards me, and broke off the twigs around which it was twisted. Most people have a knife or scissors in their tackle box, so there's no excuse to leave it behind once entangled.
I ended up with a lot of discarded line that posed an unnecessary danger to other lifeforms. Can we learn to show more consideration for other beings, and take the time to clean up after ourselves? It's not that difficult to do!
A hidden danger
Discarded fishing line glints -
Hazard for wildlife.
