Being a bass fisherman for many years, we used to come home and wash down the boat, motor and trailer and sometimes I would get real anal and wash off my lures too.
We did this to prevent spread of aquatic matter from pond to pond.
I try to apply the same logic to fishing in streams now also. I rinse my boots and waders off and I just recently heard that I should rinse my net off also which never occured to me until just heard someone talking about it.
I'm wondering if what I've been doing, which is just rinsing with a garden hose is enough or if I should be using a soap mixture or something else?
Sorry if this was discussed in a much older thread in advance.
