What`s the deal at the hatchery people?? I dragged a raincoat, pants, a 6 pack of Kokanee(empty), gaterade bottle and enough crap to fill mine and my dads backpacks. That place is a treasure man, especially this time of year. Leaves falling, salmon spawning, steelies slurping their eggs and just the beauty of the fog rolling through the canyon is something I will soak up as long as my knees will let me. You guys can pack all that crap down, MAN UP!! and pack it out!!!! Let me come over and hold a garbage bag over your head. That`s what it would be like if that coat or pants would wash into a fish. Suffocation. That sucked seeing all that, I`m going back today. If nothin else to laugh at dudes keeping the nastiest coho (snagged) and then to pick up after them like I do my 5 year old!!
I know this has been talked about (to death maybe) but man.
Love your attitude. I usually take a garbage bag with me and do a bit of policing meself. I observe The Campers Code: take nothing but pictures, leave nothing but footprints.
They probably will stop letting people in to fish or they will set up a day use fee. I'm tempted to put up a sign saying "do not dump this area is being monitored" and make up a city ordinance to put at the bottom to make it look official.
The thing is we should all be able to help keep it clean. Yeah it was a terible idea but i'm sure there are othere ways to get this.
Thats insane because I used to go up there in the snow for winter steelhead and never saw trash, but that was about 6 or 8 years ago and now it looks like cedar creek, thats insane. I couldn't imagine the pristine beauty of a wo nderful creek like that so far away from society turning into another cedar creek. I do believe that the internet probably has a lot to do with it. Before these internet fishing forums no one really knew when the river were hot and not. I do believe that we as a honest community should not post the most pristine country that we know about on these sites because not only do we ruin it for ourselves but for our children in the future. Thanx for listening Steve!!!ray:
