You bring up some good points Kid, You need to tip your hat to Fred on what he has done over the years allowing people access to the river through his property. There is not many people like him left that will put up with this. Unfortunatly it only takes a few who don't respect other peoples property and the environment we live in. Alot of the crap left on the river bank is like you said the partiers also it comes from those hot days when you see every thing that possibly will float have some slob on it with a six pack or a cooler on a rope behind them. There is the humpy season comming which brings out every body fishing for those slimy creachers and all the garbage associated with that fishery. There is limited public bank access just up river from him that gets very packed. If every one would do their part and take care of their own trash plus a little more on the way back to there vehicles that would help matters plus it should make you feel better about your self. I'm sure most all who are associated with this forum do their part, it's the casual and seasonal fishers that we need to get the point across to. I believe this state needs to get tough on it's littering. Next time you go north of the border or on the island you see very little trash along the road sides or in the parks. Take some pride in where and how you live. "Keep Washinton Green"
