Please don't discard your fishing line around the lakes....

This guy was rescued today by firemonkee...job well done.

Seems someone had left a bunch of line laying around and the Robin got entangled.

He is free today!

Also pick up please pickup line others have left. This line was in a bush so it must have been blown in there.


Together we'll fight the long defeat.

Sorta my pet peeve wherever I go.  I just don't understand the amount of trash people leave behind.  I see it happen a lot where there tends to be let's say illegal fishing occurring.

Re: Please don't discard your fishing line around the lakes....

I hate littering. HATE IT. i'm always gathering trash when i kayak and it just amazes me how many times i see someone litter. its like they expect someone else to clean up after them when they can easily gather their own trash and throw it away themselves.

and yes, I hate seeing fishing line everywhere.

kind of off topic but semi-related: how do you guys dispose of old fishing line you've unspooled from your reels?

Re: Please don't discard your fishing line around the lakes....

1. Coming back from Occoquan earlier this year, a lady in a red Toyota threw out a bag of McDonald's trash...right out the window and on to the median. I honked but could not catch up to her to get a license number. I cannot understand how she could do it. Pig!

2. I have a bag at home that I put all my discarded line in. When it fills up, I will take it to Dick's for recycling.

There are entirely too many people who don't respect the water and land that they use, and it really upsets me. I have seen every kind of litter imaginable on our public land.

Thank you for cleaning up what somebody else should have.
