O.K let me start out with I'm a fisherman and I know this does not pertain to all but I wanted to get your attention.
I went fishing today at the Kankakee River in Wilmington, Over the last two weeks I've notice more people fishing ( which is great I've met new friends) BUT I notice the amount of garbage piling up in these spots is disqusting and why are people throwing their empty beer cans in the fires they are burning while fishing?? this is not a garbage nor does the flame get hot enough to melt the can! When I started fishing a long time ago ( 1970's ) Illinois was not the fishery it is now due alot to pollution- corporate, and public. Please take it with you for your own benefit, for your kids benefit !!! I have family who moved from Illinois to northern Wisconsin In the late 70'S and to this day when I tell them I'm going fishing they say for what Carp in the Canal. growing up I lived in Lockport and I remember garbage, sewer, dead animals, etc floating down the sanitary ship canal, Today you can catch cat, bluegill, Bass, Pike,
in these same waters. Please leave only footprints and give your buddies sh-t if they leave anything..
Thank You
