    If you walk along the Columbia river, as I do often, as I fish it regularly, you can see old broken rods in the river.
    The banks along Trail, are littered with bags from Canadian Tire and Wal Mart.
    Even old reels, which I grab.
    Styrofoam worm containers, and miles, yes, miles of line.

    Each time I go out, I bring a grocery bag, up to a garbage bag full home.
    Timmy's cups,paper and plastic.
    Rotten Ronnie garbage.
    Old chairs are common now.
    Never mind the empty beer and cooler bottles.
    Yep, bottles. ..
    Empty beer cans by far outnumber the bottles, thankfully.
    You can sit on the rocks anywhere, and watch boaters as well as shore fishermen throw empty liquor bottles into the lakes and rivers.
    No evidence, no impaired charge I guess.

    I guess the difference between an angler, and someone who fishes is anglers bring garbage out with them.

    All our local fisheries are turning out more garbage than ever.

    I have even had my life threatened by supposed fishermen for telling them to take their garbage with them.

    So yep, times are changing.
    As#$oles outnumber good people everywhere now.

    Especially where access is easy…

    I’ve been fishing the Kootenay for five years and it’s taken me 3 to finally get the hang of it and almost catch fish every time. I wish got a guide to show me the runs and techniques but at the same time I’m glad i did so I could fish my way and not copy some guide.

    Nice! I fish LK Roosevelt just down river a lot! I've always wanted to fly fish the reservoir- I do troll flies for big trout there! It is great living very close. Thanks for this video!
