Pyrethrin and bass

[10,000 lakes Bassin]

I know that pyrethrin is highly toxic to fish but can fish detect it? Or is just odorless to them? I got some pyrethrin treatment for my dog and it got my ocd thinking 😂

Most things bass wont care about, but anything toxic is a different story.

If you get it on the baits or line it can go either way.

I guess it depends on the concentration/dilution of it and how clean or polluted the water they are in already is.

 

And its somewhat safe for dogs, but cats and fish its not. Try not getting any on the fish or the water.

I don’t believe I got it on any of my fishing stuff, but there’s always that little bit of doubt 😂.

If you're sure you do didn't spray your tackle box, that's some serious OCD going on. 😂
