    Yes that is a sad sight! Just goes to show how even one person can give a bad name to everyone else. Hopefully someone will clean it up.

    Good Fishing,
    Mike

    It is a shame. And even a bigger shame if fisherman litter. Thats why its important that we fisherman carry a plastic bag with us for picking up garbage if we come across it when fishing.

    By the way DA, Nate is in class today. Every day on the water is both an adventure AND an education.

    Please feel free to post any fishing reports here that you want.

    Thanks, Bill

    I wish there was some way to catch the people that do that.What i dont understand is they carried it there in something. i assume a cooler,they took the cooler with them when they left.Why not put the cans back in the cooler.

    Not that it matters much…but it doesn’t look like a fishing party did this.

    When I was really into trout fishing I started to carry a garbage bag in on of my creel pockets….just for messes like this.

    My thought is that yes…someone else made the mess…but as a user of the area..it’s my responsability to clean it up…why? Because if it’s on private property, who’s going to suffer? ME! I don’t blame land owners for not allowing true sportsmen on their property…because to them “people” left the mess. If I keep “people” off my land…I have no trash.

    I can’t say that I pick up all trash (I wish I could)…but I try…

    Thanks for posting DA…guess we still have some out there!
