Do You Clean Your Fishing Spots? - FishGuy3754 - 07-09-2020 05:47 PM
Random thing I wanted to check with other anglers. I know what with Covid no one wants to touch things outside currently, but in general,
How many people clean up their area or surrounding area while they are out fishing?
I wanted to check cause almost every fishing spot no matter where it is seems to be littered with drink bottles/cans and timmies/fast food wrappers. Also there always seems to be an abundance of leftover line just littering most spots.
My friends and I try to clean up the area and usually end of bringing a bag of garbage to throw out later. Does anyone clean up their fishing spots while they are there or before they leave?

I do try to most times in the more secluded places I fish. In fact, I always have a spare plastic bag in my pouch for this purpose.
But sadly some popular areas are beyond my help and would takes days of effort to clear totally by a team of volunteers.
But still......……. I will continue to help as best I can. It's not tough.
Try doing a search here using "garbage" as the search parameter...….
We even had a garbage derby years back!
Cheers,
OldTimer

Thanks OldTimer. I've seen some of the more public spots that get trashed but its good to know there are others trying to clean. Even a little bit helps as they say.
There is almost always a giant clump of line at most spots. my first thought after a birdnest isn't to leave the pile of line but it seems like a lot of people just don't care.
I did the search and some of them were interesting

No matter where you go or how remote garbage seems to pop up. I always carry a garbage bag with me.
