Free Spectra Offer
(The only catch is that all anglers interested in redeeming this special unlimited time offer, just have to spool your reels your self..) • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • With every 1000 yards you spool, you earn two security tokens and four karma points. I decided to redeem todays karma for a toad. PLEASE pick up your junk.. Every single place I visit fresh or salt, river or brook, sewer or 'Open Waters', I find that cajun red line, snelled eagle claw packs, the spool fillers and countless junk strictly from Anglers...Makes no difference where..When I was just in the Keys, seems like every stretch of mangrove & everglades from Tampa to Miami was littered thick with braid & mono.. Same coast to coast..ArggggggggGGGGGgg............. ............ •

Awesome post.
As a pro nature photographer for 30 plus years, I have worked around numerous bodies of water. Fisherman are by far the worst litterbugs out in nature. One one of the first trips I brought my wife on in the high sierras, I told her I would catch her a trout but I had no fishing gear. It took me about a minute to find some fishing line and a hook littered along the stream. Caught a trout a few minutes latter. Impressed the wife. PICK UP YOUR TRASH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

I remember as a young kid my dad telling me you could fill a tacklebox if you just looked closely enough. Before long I had found a couple lures and countless weights and hooks.
Just have to pay attention |

The other day at DP I came back to the launch with around 3 glass bottles, 5 soda cans and a bunch or ftrash in the back of my yak. The lady digging through the trash for cans and bottles was super excited when I presented her with my catch of cans and bottles.

Ditto. Last year in the Sierras at Rock Creek Lake I found at least 30-40 assorted spinners, kastmasters, thomas buoyants and rapalas stuck on submerged logs or left tangled in trees. Could have filled a small tackle box. It was terrible how much line was littered around the perimeter of the lake.
