Could we extend this APB to include bank fishermen? I was on Priest yesterday and I couldn't believe the sheer volume of blue plastic worm containers, Big Gulp cups, wrappers etc. littering the shores. I even saw a guy fling a plastic grocery bag of trash over his shoulder into the woods - in mid-sentence. What the hell?

There was plenty of plastic trash floating in the water too, which obviously could have come from boaters. The weirdest thing I saw was an oven mitt(!) bobbing by my kayak. I know all lakes have trash but JPP is one of the worst I've ever seen. I try to pick up what I can.

Personally I find the site of jugs on any lake to be a blight on my idealistic vision of the Great Outdoors, but I do understand it's a legal form of fishing. But yeah -- leaving jugs unattended is both a trash problem and an issue of angler ethics.
