Default Very Disapointed !!!

Went to Mill City Wednesday morning when I got there the place was a mess. I filled my net with about 8 pop cans numerous bait contaners lure wrapers and jecky bags. Long story short I went back today and there was another pile of trash.As I got ready to leave I thought screw this I'm not cleaning up anymore, then filled my net up with trash and headed for the can.It almost felt like some one had kicked me in the GROIN!! They keep it up and someone is going to close that park and were all going to lose. Thanks for listning just had to vent.

I appreciate your venting, and your caring.

This is what I want ifish to be about. Clean up, and take care of the resources. Attend meetings, make a difference.

All of these things.

Thanks for venting. I did that very thing tonight, too! VENT VENT VENT! :smile:

I agree with you one hundred percent, I was at the loggers bridge on wednesday, on the Kilchis, and saw probably 200 feet of line all over, a bunch of hooks, bait containers, it totally disgusts me. I hope someday I can either work for Fish and Game or OSP so I can ticket those <rats?!!! Bye the way, I picked it all up.

GOT2FISH, I totally understand where you're coming from. Every time I hit the bank, this too is what I see, TRASH everywhere. I despise all the losers that don't have a consceience about all the trash they leave behind. I bring a plastic sack and with out doubt fill it every time. It <makes me furious> that these jerks don't understand that they run the risk of shuting our prized resources down.

Anyway, just wanted to give you a congrats for the disgusting work it is to pick up someone else's litter. Keep up the good work, plenty of good karma on your way. [img]graemlins/applause.gif[/img]

Great work! The sad thing is that is only one of many spots on the river. :depressed: We adopted the river from Mill City to Lyons working with S.O.L.V. We have 4 river clean-ups tentativly sceduled, along with the clean-ups S.O.L.V does. It amazed me of the things that get dumped into the river. Bikes, fender, hot water heater, bowling ball, etc. At that time is was more junk, than garbage left behind from other using the river. Our next Clean-up will be around Spring Break. [img]graemlins/1zhelp.gif[/img] I know that does not help to solve this problem, but it does make people aware a little bit that "SOMEONE IS WATCHING". We are, and are starting to make a little progress. Thanks for what you did! [img]graemlins/applause.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/applause.gif[/img]
