Please share! Fall is the time of year we receive many calls for hooked loons. Juvenile loons are starting to fish independently and often approach fishing boats looking for an easy meal. They may strike at a baited hook or lure, or get hooked when the angler is casting. Always reel in when loons are near! Never cast towards a loon. Please use lead free tackle. Lead poisoning is the leading cause of loon deaths!
