Have got kind of sick and tired of all the trash I have been seeing on our rivers over the years. So what river is the most trashed up? The Reiter area on the Sky I know is bad but my vote might go to the Pilchuck or the Green or maybe the Sky. Whats your vote? And to all those who throw their junk down during a days fishing, GET LOST! Why do you fish any way? Cant imagine what your house looks like. Sorry for the ranting, but it gets to me.

Yeah. See the sofas and chairs at Soos Cr? What's with that? Those weren't fisherman I bet. But I do get sick of the beer cans, bait tubs, and mono stretched all over the place.

I know what you mean it is quite bad on the rivers close to me also. You may know this but what myself and some other members of this board do is put together a river clean up every two to three months. We get together fish the morning them spent half a day walking the banks with Hefty bags picking up trash. We have gotten the support of some local tackle shops and the hacherys now let us dump the trash in there dumpsters. It did take some doing to get the hacherys to let us do this. It is a good way to get to know some other fishermen also a good way to get to know the river. I also believe that when others see you doing this it makes them aware of there own trash and pick it up. On our last clean up we were glad to find less trash that in the past. Post a clean up on this BB and I bet you will get some help. Good Luck!!

Its good to see groups getting together to clean up what isn't their responsibility. Well done guys!
I'm also aware of the Eastside Steelheaders who do the occasional clean up too. Keep up the good work

Keep our rivers clean

Great idea! I will try to remember it when I stop in at Teds next time (memory kinda goes as we get older). Maybe some of the guys/gals would want in on this, after the season though. thanks .
