Thread: Trash

It happens everywhere . Sad people say they love the outdoors then trash it . We have a guy on Nimrod that walks and picks up trash left by others . He told me he has even had people make rude comments and laugh at him for doing it . I have to commend him for caring enough . The locals who bank fish , hunt or ride around drinking are the worst .

Unfortunately there are more people everyday that do this stuff. Sad indeed.

Trash begets trash. Think about it.

Makes me sick too. It is behavior like this that will cause an area to get closed down. It's a shame this happens but it does. We see the same thing at the dam. I have picked up so many bags of trash down there. It burns me up. We have tried putting trash cans or dumpsters in areas like this but people bring there house hold trash and abuse the service. Same thing with portapotties. I wish more people would take pride in our natural resources and areas. Just makes me sick!

Idk what needs to be done about it but something good has too....I've seen the dam that way too d10 that place is pitful....here's my opinion have a game warden or police officer at either spot during the fishing season writing tickets because you and I both know that 75% of people probably don't have a license and possibly have fish under 10 inches....idk it made me sick today seeing underneath that bridge I had to leave...And I didn't catch anything

Hey D10....if you would like to arrange some kind of clean up crew one weekend pm me!! And we can arrange something

Yes, it's the norm everywhere. And it is sad. All we can do is teach our kids and grandkids not to be idiots. I'm sure most of you would agree with a statement I heard from a colleague of mine..."People are nice. The public sucks."

We could probably arrange that. Unfortunately, we have a creel survey going on Greers Ferry right now and the three of us are already working two weekend days a month. It may be difficult to convince them to work another Saturday. I will let you know if I can get something together.
