Hello Everyone,

My friends and I fished Blue Creek today for the first time in several years. I could not believe the amount of garbage being left along the shoreline. As fishermen we should be stewards of the river. So I have a proposal for anyone interested. We are planning to return to Blue Creek on Saturday, Jan 11th. But this time instead of bringing my rod I am bringing large garbage bags and gloves. We plan to spend a couple of hours and clean up as much as we can. We believe that fishermen are better than what we saw and Easy Limits and I are willing to put action where our talk is. So my challenge and request to you is to join us at Blue Creek for a Piscatorial Pursuits/WashingtonLakes.com cleaning day. The more people that contribute even an hour or two the quicker it will get done. We plan on getting started in the morning and will meet where the creek drops into the river. We were thinking that since there will be many bags of garbage we'll make a sign requesting anglers to pack out a bag of garbage when they leave for the day. The packed garbage bags will be piled up at the trailhead at Blue Creek. I'm willing to bet that anglers who are done fishing will at least do this for the river. I'm inviting as many of you as can come to join us and get this area cleaned up. Lets do something positive instead of just talking about how bad it is.

Any takers?
