Bag that trash
FISHERMEN GOING OUT for the opening day of trout season, April 6, should take along a gunny sack, large bag, or any other suitable container to pick up trash. So urges the Water Quality Committee of the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection.
Some favorite fishing holes are so full of beer cans, broken bottles, and food containers that they look like junior versions of the old Amissville dump on a busy day. A notable exception is the Piney River, which has been cleaned up by the Sperryville Boy Scouts as a Jaycee project. The Scouts did a good job, and fishermen are encouraged to help keep this and the other streams and rivers of the county clean through a little thoughtful effort.
Discarded trash along stream banks breeds mosquitoes and vermin, causing health hazzards to all residents. Broken bottles and rusted metal containers either on the shore or in shallow water pose the threat of injury or accident. And the pull tabs from beverage cans, if swallowed by fish can kill the fish, points out the RLEP.
If every fisherman carried a bag with him, and filled that bag to the limit, we could keep our streams _ and fishing holes clean and healthful, and help as. sure a plentiful supply of fish for years to come.D
