When a lone duck paddled past, about 15 feet away from me, I saw the reason for its abnormal behavior: There, about two feet behind it, was a small piece of wood, or cork, or plastic. Most likely, an angler found his lure snarled on bottom, and gave a quick yank to free it, ended up snapping the fishing line. Then, later the duck got its foot stuck in the nest of line, and ended up picking up more debris. Here’s hoping that we anglers can be a little more careful when we hit the water.
