Sorry to vent here, as I think most people on this forum are not to blame, but a friend and I went fishing at Dickson Dam on Saturday, and holy crap did we ever find a ton of discarded line. Since the fishing area is open and has no trees, it's hard to figure how anyone can lose or snag this much line. People must be stripping off and discarding line for whatever reason. That burns me, as I've found several birds hopelessly tangled in discarded fishing line. Anyway, this plastic shopping bag-full is what we cleaned up from a very small area of shoreline...ugh!
