Conservation / Clean Up On The River

Wild Rivers On The Fly

Conservation.
What does that really mean? Conservation means ACTION! It means leaving no trace. It requires that you tread lightly and not leave your footprint on our public lands and waters.

Ask most Anglers and they will tell you that conservation means that you are a protector and conservator of the land, water, game, and fish. They would say that when they are on the water they are not only packing out what they packed in, they are packing out trash left behind by careless visitors and that includes our fishing brethren.

What are responsible anglers packing out you ask? Beer (favorites are Miller Lite, Coors, Corona and Bud Light), liquor (the little bottles like they serve on airplanes), soda cans and bottles, cigarette boxes and butts, plastic water bottles, straws, ketchup, and mustard wrappers, styrofoam night crawler boxes, lure wrappers, potato chip bags, plastic bags, flip flops, and monofilament line, bobbers, three pronged spinners, tires and scrap metal to name a few.

If you are sincere about being engaged in conservation then you must help protect our land, water, and habitat and help stem the tide of those who are hell bent on destroying it.

Note to Self:
Carry a trash bag on your person and please use it. Keep our beautiful places beautiful.
