BIG THANKS TO THE CLEAN UP CREW.

This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

It was my pleasure to provide the BBQ treats.....I hope you enjoyed it.

Next time I'll make sure that my kids and I are able to attend and help with the cleanup.

Good job to all who helped.

Hi, just got in from doing two other functions. It was a great morning working with the crew. We only got a fraction of what was floating around out of our reach. This is the first clean-up I've participated in. What an eye opener. I can't belive the amount of styrofoam polluting the landscape. Small pieces to large chunks, one of which can be seen in front of the picture with the tire. Plastic bottles were another big number item. Like Joco said, stuff was found well off the path, obviously thrown there, not just wind drift or flood movement.
Looking forward to next year, will bring a net to help reach those floating bits.
Thanks again to everyone for making this a succesfull project.

Was nice meeting a few new Fish-Hawkers!!!!!

Just want to add my "WELL DONE" to the group that Sylvie and I had the pleasure of working with this morning. It was a very enjoyable morning even with the disgusting amount of garbage we found. We could have easily doubled our collection if not for the high water levels we were confronted with.
The company was great and it was good to put faces to names. Well done to Joco for the idea and organization of the event. We will be there next time whenever that may be.

WOW, thanks to a handful of hardworking, caring people, THIS pile of literal trash is now out of the water and surrounding land:

To all who gave of their time and effort: job (very) well done! :D

THANK YOU!

And BA, that is a neat pic of a Great Horned owl and "owlet". Lucky you to see them. Apparently, the little guy has spotted you. :shock:

Sure did a heck of a job cleaning up the place folks. Hats off to to the crew who made it down there this weekend to take part in the clean-up. Every little bit makes a difference.

Well done :)
