Please don’t litter especially where you fish!!

Fellow fishermen along the Minnesota River (and anywhere else).

Please pick up after yourselves. After years of fishing this great, ever improving, and beautiful Minnesota River basin. I have noticed an alarming trend from shore fishermen………..leaving your trash after fishing

Respect the Outdoors, Mother Nature, and they’ll keep providing us with years of clean enjoyment.

I don’t think any of the slobs who litter like that frequent this site. I sure hear you though. The garbage left at the community spots is sad – very sad…

Some shore spots will make you sick just looking at the mess left by self important people.

Hello SteveW,

Sometimes when I go fishing/ice fishing on all my favorite places. I end up talking to fellow fishermen. Topic of visiting all these forums come up. Most of the fishermen I encounter use or are members and then I witness some of these same fishermen leave their trash.

Basically I’m just throwing out a friendly reminder to all of us fishermen to help spread the word and maybe bring a garbage bag along to help pick up or hand out. I’ve witnessed some of these fishermen started to pick up afterwards when hand them a garbage bag or they see me pick up after them like when Mom would do. (A little guilt trip sometimes works)

Thanks and good luck fishing
