Thirty volunteers remove fishing baits lost for 60 years in the Cavallers dam

About thirty volunteers participated this Tuesday in a day of collecting lost fishing bait in the Cavallers reservoir, in Alta Ribagorça.

This action has been carried out now, taking advantage of the fact that the dam is empty due to the maintenance works that are being carried out.

Since the reservoir was built, about sixty years ago, no similar cleaning action had been carried out and, therefore, the decoys that will be recovered may be from different years. These will serve as a basis for a subsequent exhibition and see the behavior of the different materials of the baits submerged in water for time.

It has also been used to remove other materials from the dam, such as iron or plastics.
