Trash Trout and Bait on Southern California Streams

[Calicanuck]

I hope most of the guys here already know that keeping the resource clean is important. Here is a little video clip I made from some findings on a local California Stream the other day. Disappointing for sure!

Calicanuck, don't let this guy's comment discourage you. There must be many, and I for one, appreciate your educating fishing videos. We all could do our part of teaching others about proper catch and release as well as bring along a trash bag to clean up after yourself and others. Let your example lead the way.

People have been fishing since the dawn of time, far longer than my short years on the planet. The trash was there long before I ever arrived to these fishing locals. Fishing related trash can be found anywhere fish are caught. Even remote lakes and streams where I've fished in Canada show the impacts of careless fisherman and discarded bait containers on the banks. Education makes people more informed, more intelligent. It makes them less likely to commit crime and encourages them to respect the natural resources we have. Ignorance is destructive and I can't support ignorance. I hope to help people appreciate what an amazing thing we have in the great outdoors and with time they may start to clean up too!

So in other words Mr. Bowler, even though you directly attribute all atrocities in California fishing to my videos, I really can't see your point of view.

Thanks for your comments.

You got it twisted man...people shouldn't be dumping their crap anywhere they feel like it....streams, lakes, beaches, parks, sidewalks...etc

Most likely, many of the polluters don't even watch his videos or are even on the forum


btw....great vid again Calicanuck

However,finding the dead fish in association with the bait containers perhaps tempered the decision in not naming the stream in the last instructional video.
