This world belongs to me as much as it does to anybody else .
I suffer no embarrassment in declaring my love of clear water, green meadows, wild flowers, trees...and even cloud formations. It is a wonderful world when it is given half a chance.
At a time when the Amazon Forest loses a tree every 20 seconds, I am nothing less than sickened when I arrive at a favourite patch of waterside Heaven to do a spot of fishing and find that some low-life scumbag and his mate have desecrated it with lager-tins, toilet-paper and all the other detritus deemed necessary nowadays for a weekends fishing(carp-fishing normally)
For over 30 years, I have collected all this junk and have taken it home to MY dustbin at the end of the day...and I'm just about fed-up with it. The situation is getting worse. 'Litter' used to be a fag-packet and a few sweet wrappers.....now it's a dozen lager tins, two egg-boxes, various tins, plastic bottles, gaz containers, bags etc etc. It's got to stop.
I am curious to know just how far some anglers are prepared to go in order to protect their environment and to show the scumbag element of the 'angling' fraternity that their disgusting behaviour AIN'T ON.
I don't want to hear from anybody who advocates an aggresive leafletting campaign....better education....leading by example (I've been doing that all my life)
