Look up before you tackle up

Fishing near overhead power lines can be extremely dangerous and has resulted in serious injury or death to anglers.

Even if your rod does not come into contact with a power line electricity can arc across and deliver a potentially lethal charge to the angler.

Look up before you tackle up.
