ABOUT TANGLE FREE WATERS
For generations, monofilament fishing line has been an essential part of many fisherman’s tackle box. Unfortunately, the same attributes that make monofilament an ideal choice for fishing line — high tensile strength, low visibility, and durability — also makes it a serious threat to the environment.
Birds, reptiles and other wildlife can easily become entangled; causing starvation, amputation, and death. Ingestion is also a serious threat. Moreover, fishing line never truly bio-degrades. Instead it breaks down into smaller and smaller pieces, infiltrating the ecosystem and diminishing local water quality.
Tangle Free Waters is a program designed to reduce and remove monofilament fishing line from Eastern Sierra waterways and keep it out of landfills by means of recycling. One major way we achieve this is by installing fishing line deposit tubes at major fishing locations throughout Mono County.
