Put your tackle away before it endangers wildlife, says government

The Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture is asking anglers to be responsible with their tackle.

This week, it took to Facebook to issue a plea for people not to discard fishing line near Cringle Reservoir.

Fisheries officers say they picked up a large amount of old line after a complaint from an angler.

DEFA says anglers should make sure they dispose of old line responsibly as it can kill wildlife long after it's left behind.
