In my experience (having been raised among anglers), snags in trees are "should have known better" events, i.e. the result of careless or inept casting. Experienced anglers can avoid this problem. More difficult to avoid are the underwater snags, and I suspect the latter exact a greater cost on wildlife, though the submerged tackle and the victims may remain out of sight.
