The Law

In the early 20th century, impatient anglers discovered that tossing a stick of dynamite into a lake was a highly efficient way to bring fish floating to the surface. Unsurprisingly, this practice was incredibly dangerous and devastating to local aquatic ecosystems. The state government had to write a highly specific law telling fishermen to stick to a rod and reel.
