Careful with those plastic baits!<br />
<strong>New</strong> <strong>Hampshire</strong> fisheries biologists are reporting increasing<br />
numbers of caught trout <strong>and</strong> salmon with in<strong>digest</strong>ible soft plastic<br />
lures in <strong>the</strong>ir stomachs. A discarded soft plastic lure consumed<br />
innocently by a trout from <strong>the</strong> bottom of a freshwater lake likely<br />
remains in that fish’s stomach for <strong>the</strong> rest of its life, <strong>and</strong> may cause<br />
health issues such as ulcers <strong>and</strong> weight loss. Anglers are strongly<br />
encouraged to purchase biodegradable <strong>and</strong> food-based lures ra<strong>the</strong>r<br />
than soft plastic ones. It is also important that anglers not discard<br />
plastic lures into any waters, <strong>and</strong> also to attempt to retrieve any<br />
soft plastic lures that have become unhooked. Thanks.<br />
