in front of my cichla tank,IL
can some on post a pic of how to set up the frayed nylon rope on the fishing line to catch gar????
 
Never done it personally. FRom the people I've talked to you just tie a length of nylon rope to your fishing line and brush the rope out with wire brush. Should resemble a spinnerbait skirt. When gar bites its supposed to get tangled in the fibers.
 
thanks
does any one know the bag limit and size for wisconsin and how would u have to keep it so i could get it mounted?
 
Don't know regs for your state. Here in Louisiana there are no bag or size limits on gar. For the mount you should take a good pic of the fish right when you catch it so the taxidermist can match its colors. Wrap the fish in a wet towel and make sure the fins are lying down smooth, put it in a plastic bag and freeze it good and solid. Then bring it to your taxidermist.
