Rode my bicycle into the creek this morning. Haven't fished in over a week. 3 weeks ago, there was virtually no trash down there. I couldn't even fish for being completely disgusted!! Trying to think of how to clean it all up, but there is no way to stop it. There are people who are going down there with absolutely no intention of taking their trash out. Everywhere they sit or stand and fish, they are leaving piles of trash.
















I stopped taking pictures because my phone battery was dying. This is really sad!!

it's disgusting that people take the time to get to the creek etc, but wont take the time to take walmart bags/trash bags to put their trash in it and carry it out...

That kind of behavior just does not make sense. Do they just go once a year, not catch anything and trash the place out of spite or something? I have already packed out a ton of other peoples mess at Marshall Creek. The beer cans explain a lot. Have to say that somebody is doing a good job of keeping Denton Creek at 377 clean so far. But the trash can there at the parking lot is beyond full.

CLASS is not something that be given or taught.

They even left behind their super sweet two bearing 40 ouncer fishing rig and their KVD model 20 ounce water bottle rig!!? Must have been in hurry. No respect.

That is sad.

That sucks!

i hate it when I find trash in our city park point right next to the ###### cans!

I think I know that place, I went there or a place simular and could not believe how trashed out it was, didn't think many people went back there.Sad, yes , but you can tell by trash left behind who is doing it and they don't even , ah screw it they're not reading this and they won't stop cause they don't even see anything wrong with what they're doing. To them it's just like back home, no rules, anything goes.
You know who you are, tell your fellow man to stop trashing every place they go or else the fishing hole will eventually be closed down. One of my favorite places is threating to put up a fence because of the Coleman bottles getting caught in the power plant. IT'S NOT THAT HARD, U BROUGHT IT IN, U TAKE IT OUT !

That is just another example of the sad state of the time that we now live. Lord help us...

That really sucks to see stuff like that.On a good note I noticed a trash bag full at the bike path this weekend.Good to see someone is trying, thanks to who ever did this.Thanks Mike for reminding us of this we all need to do our share.

same stuff going on here at granger lake.always thaught it was the youngsters making the mess,but it's the lazy adults.doesn't look good on us bankfisherman.

Awhile back one of my sons, at 16, tried to outrun the cops after speeding. (he didn't get far). His sentence was community service and we arranged for him to pick up trash at our favorite creek. If you have a community service director at the nearest courthouse, inform them that you have a job for a kid that has been sentenced with community service.
