Grinds my GEARS
Grinds my GEARS
So I've been to lake St.pierre in calabogie last Sunday and again today let me just say I hope the people that leave a ton of garbage behind get a visit from the MNR when they are fishing.i picked up 8 beer cans along with empty smoke packs also there unwanted worms last Sunday all of it was left on the ice and to my surprise today there were more beer cans on the ice... It's just sad to see and people wonder why they stop stocking lakes....
There I feel better now

Ouch and I thought the empty coke cans, smashed beer bottles and coffee cups was bad in walleye bay at petrie... If you can bring it in then you can bring it out!!!
Re: Grinds my GEARS
I think this a problem in many places. I don't really understand why this happens, either these people don't understand what happens to this stuff in the spring or they don't fish in these lakes and rivers during summer season. I enjoy our waterways but don't enjoy the idea of this junk being In the same areas I fish in the summer. The other problem is when I come to use my shack and all of this garbage is around my shack because of someone that setup close to it for a day it makes it look like my garbage.cgates wrote:So I've been to lake St.pierre in calabogie last Sunday and again today let me just say I hope the people that leave a ton of garbage behind get a visit from the MNR when they are fishing.i picked up 8 beer cans along with empty smoke packs also there unwanted worms last Sunday all of it was left on the ice and to my surprise today there were more beer cans on the ice...

My favourite has long been the empty propane tanks lodged halfway in the thickness of the ice... nothing dulls an auger blade quicker

Ignorance plain and simple. Unfortunately its only getting worse.I think this a problem in many places. I don't really understand why this happens, either these people don't understand what happens to this stuff in the spring or they don't fish in these lakes and rivers during summer season.
Money can't buy you happiness but it can buy you fishing gear and that's kinda the same thing.

Shirleys Bay is absolutely disgusting.... saw 5 or 6 perch, a pile of crap, puke, beer cans and cigarettes everywhere. Going to bring a garbage bag next time I go. It`s no wonder everyone thinks ice fisherman are a bunch of slobs, a lot of them are.

I know I will get some heat from this but, If it was up to me I would ban Ice Hut's. You want most of the garbage gone, get rid of the people that leave it there

Re: Grinds my GEARS
Its more than just people who own shacks that leave garbage. Enforcement is really whats needed. That and every responsible fisherman who cleans up their own garbage to stand up and say enough is enough to the d-bags that leave crap out there. Realistically there is no sure fire way to stop it. Just gotta educate those who will listen and punish those who choose not to.I know I will get some heat from this but, If it was up to me I would ban Ice Hut's.

If you think Shirleys Bay is disgusting, you should visit some of the areas near Gatineau on the Ottawa River.TheDon wrote:Shirleys Bay is absolutely disgusting.... saw 5 or 6 perch, a pile of crap, puke, beer cans and cigarettes everywhere.

Sad indeed whenever you see garbage left behind from careless fisherman. No matter where you go there is garbage, I have been to the middle of nowhere northern ontario way back in the bush and you find Pepsi cans, beer bottles the odd timmies cup. Every remote area/lake I have been to in eastern ontario, northern ontario, BC and Quebec I have found garbage from hunters, fisherman and atv/skidoo traffic, people just don't care its that simple nothing more to it, there attitude is someone else will pick it up.

Re: Grinds my GEARS
I have an Ice hutt & don't leave garbage, folks in my area that have permanents don't seem to be the problem... It's the people that just are point blank ignorant.drake691 wrote:I know I will get some heat from this but, If it was up to me I would ban Ice Hut's.
