Hey /out/. So a while back I was watching a bush craft video claiming that a certain plant could be found that when put in water kills fish and causes their bodies to float up. It's been a while and am not sure which video it was, (nor did I find it with a google search.)(Though I think it was an alfie aesthetics video). So I was wondering if anyone of you knew what the plant is. Thanks for the help

Had a bad crap?
this is something i was interested in as well, and ive seen that many different peoples from different parts of the world used different plants to the same effect. so i think its the properties of the plant that are important.
there is yucca, and some rainforest root. the commonality is the liquid from both create this dense, foggy, sudsy substance. so the effect might not be so much that there is a poison in the plant, but the properties displace properties of the water that make it uninhabitable for fish. perhaps making respiration impossible. i think if you follow that line of reasoning, youll find the properties necessary to fish with whatever is available that shares said properties

Thanks, is yucca in North America?

Yeah, it's more of an arid / semi-arid plant but it's used as a landscape plant in a lot of places. I didn't know about its fish killing properties until this thread but it flowers early and makes excellent honey. I hate the fuckers though, they're spiny and hard to kill and really suck to mow or garden around.

There are lots of plants that do this. Just google it. It is also illegal in most places to actually do that.

Honestly I'd rather have quality content than shitty fucking videos every 2 minutes. At least he's doing it cause he wants to, and not to shill.
Any plant that contains Saponin will do, but this website lists quite a few in all regions, http://www.primitiveways.com/fish_poison.html.

This is more usually done with a bag of lime, old river poaching technique. The problem is that it discolours the flesh of the fish.

I live in the southeastern US, and i have heard that the local native americans used to use black walnut nut hulls to harvest fish in this manner, something in the hull knocks the fish out or something like that
