In north central Washington
are beautiful clean fishing lakes,
and one on a map I can be certain you would find would be
Wannacut or or Palmer Lakes
outside of Oroville.

In any case your post reminded me of me...
lol
but indeed,
I always take a large plastic garbage bag with me
along the shorelines
and gather up all the fishermen's garbage
to include loose fishing line especially as this is harmful to birds.

Often I come back with a full bag on opening week.

Unfortunately the migrant Mexican workers that fish there
are the worst offenders,
but everybody is responsible no matter what,
by sheer presence
in pristine waters.

It always feels good
to look back and know that shoreline is clean again,
to include gathering bottles or cans that are in the water.


On the good news here personally,
being an antiques and art dealer I found out that the Russians
have gone nuts buying their art back on the International market,
and one of my Russian paintings went up in value
TEN times in two years, possibly into six figures or more.

cheers
