I'll have to look into what type of trees are in the area. Just at work right now..
The top right part of the branch has not been boiled yet.
Unfortunately it had no bark or leaves when I grabbed it.
I pulled it out of a half frozen inlet, so it was already waterlogged. It also has no smell to it
I guess my biggest concern is how to tell if its rotten, I don't want to kill any of my fishes (buying one will cost upwards of $60 and I think that's a little ridiculous for a stick lol)
