DNR Reels In Fishing Reminders

Add this to the list of reminders as fishing season opens in Wisconsin.

The DNR yesterday warned fishermen not to recycle their old fishing lines in their regular recycling. Those lines can get caught in the recycling machines, Instead, the DNR says bag-up your old fishing line and take it to a special fishing line collection center. Sporting good stores usually have those. As for lead weights, the DNR says those can be recycled, but only if your recycler accepts them. But the DNR is suggesting that people skip lead weights, saying they are a danger to both lakes and rivers, and the wildlife that may eat them.
