Wife and I was on beaver a month or so ago. We were moving through timber to fish. I was having a hard time because of old trot lines. Finally I took one and removed it from the lake to keep it out of the trolling motor. With the low water you can see then all over. I have also been on a lake that the water had been falling all summer and see 20 or more yo-yo’s hanging head high along the edge of coves.

You can tell from the slime that the trot lines are old. The trot lines nor the yo-yo’s are labeled

My question, is it legal to removed unlabeled and old equipment to clean up the lake?
