On the North American Fishing Club site they've got a thing started called a Trash Bash which is tallying up how much trash members have collected. I think it would be cool to do something like that here. So far they aren't giving prizes or anything like that but it has been talked about. I've collected 46 plastic shopping bags full so far this year and that's nothing compared to some of the folks there. It doesn't take much to loop a shopping bag on your belt loop and just pick-up whatever as you plug your way down the bank.
Tight lines,
Wade
PS: Does anybody know a company that would print shopping bags with a custom logo for cheap? I'd be willing to drop a $20 for say 200 with the right logo.
