Same old sad story year after year. It ain't ever going to change so get over it.
You are right but is tough when we older anglers saw what fishing once was when it was a challenge to learn the skills to actually make a fish bite. Of course it goes hand in hand with the permissive society we now live in.
This week while doing some cleanups in preparation for Sunday's cleanup it amazes me some people just toss out their coffee cups, roe in plastic bags etc. along the parking areas when we have garbage bags a few feet away in some cases, one would thing people that like to fish would look after our rivers and not use it as a garbage dump.
Why they do so always makes me wonder. Discarded line litters some popular bars too. Is it they know some people will come along and clean it up for them.
We will have the area we will clean from Keith Wilson Bridge to the Freeway Bridge (about 15 of us will work this section) clean of all garbage on Sunday but once again come Monday it once again will be littered. I know some people pick up others garbage too and is a good idea to pack a bag along and do a small cleanup each time you are out.
Fishing was good in a area I fished today with most people short floating with roe, with a good bite at first light. I even found a spring jack and lost a couple and missed a few. Some others did very well. Of course all areas will be packed tomorrow with people going out hours before fishing time, I will try bar fishing instead, on the Fraser.
Hope to see some from this forum at the cleanup on Sunday.
