I am not a bowfisher. My first real introduction to bowfishing was when I walked up to a site on the Deep Fork River where I did monitoring with the Blue Thumb water quality education program. Apparently a few days before, someone had gone bowfishing for gar. They have left dozens of huge fish decaying on the banks. I see this as needless death and a stinky, gross situation for someone trying to do something good for the river.

A lot of what is needed is education, I think. You can find stories online extolling bowfishing as a way to "rid waters of rough fish."
