Every time I go fishing, I bring a garbage back with me. It stays in my vest, and when I'm done and the rod is packed up, I pull out the garbage back, fill it up with garbage, and throw it in my truck and head home. I STRONGLY suggest everyone do that too, we live in a beautiful province with world class fishing, and we need to keep it that way. Let the 90% of responsible anglers and good people, make up for the others who aren't.

Great work and so rewarding to see people like you doing this. Lets hope more people take the initiative and do the same.We can and do make a difference and I wonder how many people on this forum do this on the small and other systems they fish?

Chris mentioned about 4 tons of garbage being picked up!
That deserves a "thumbs up".
People that go out & clean the river's edge must also be tidy people. Bet their rooms are neat & tidy as well.
Some tv reporter was doing a feature in Vancouver & he witnessed a parked vehicle & people throwing garbage out the window. Ya know the type ,eat their fast food & out with the containers.
The reporter put the guys on camera & told them to pick up the mess.
They just sped off.
Some years ago we camped with a 16 ft trailer at a Fraser River bar in the Langley area.
Our German Shepard cut it's front paw very badly on some broken glass. Bet it was a beer bottle.
Anyways lots of blood thus wrapped the paw up with cloth & off to the vet.
Fishing trip cut short.

News spreads fast about good fishing on small systems. One guy knows & tells his friend, the friend tells his friends & they in turn do the same.
Bingo in a short time 100s then 1000's know.
