It was in Kenora in 2020 and finally in Thunder Bay here in 2023," said Steelhead Association spokesperson Frank Edgson."I'm probably guilty of losing some line on a riverbank when I was fishing.

Michelle Willows, environmental planner for the Lakehead Region Conservation Authority, noted that abandoned fishing line can also contribute to microplastic pollution in Lake Superior.
