The Bobber Snatcher

Considered by some to be a nuisance tree, the Bobber Snatcher is commonly found along the edges of favored fishing spots in Vernon. This native to Vermont species is easily identified by the red and white fishing bobbers that adorn it's low hanging branches year round.  Upon closer examination however, you will see that the bobbers aren't actually produced by the tree, but strung there by fishing line. The Bobber Snatcher tree relies on fishing line and sinkers to snare and permanently affix it's prized bobbers. -Norma Manning
