The Law

While it might seem incredibly obvious today, the state had to explicitly ban the use of dynamite in rivers and lakes to stop lazy, destructive fishermen. In the late 1800s, explosives were a quick way to bring a massive haul of fish to the surface, completely decimating local ecosystems. Now, you have to use a rod and reel like everyone else.
