Survival Fishing – Part 4

Another very effective way of survival fishing is using fish poison. It allows you to be unseen by the fish while it’s working. You can also kill multiple fish at once. Be sure to gather all the affected fish, because you don’t want to send dead fish downstream.

There are plants you can find in warmer weather climates that will stun or kill fish, but won’t harm the person eating it. Some plants you can use are: Lime, Nut husks, Tephrosia, and Duboisia Rotenone is a fish poison that works best in water that’s 70۫ F or above. It works slowly in 50۫ F to 70۫ F water, and doesn’t work at all below 50۫ F water.
