theiceman2 Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 my first clean-up...a job well done judging from the pile of garbage. tnx again to the organizers, sponsors and everyone for turning out - what's the weirdest/most surprising thing you picked up? - what was the most common thing you picked up? 3 hyperdermic needles, 12 golf balls, and the most common had to be bottle caps.

ÜberFly Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Most common- Bottle caps or drinking straws, shot gun shells. Not necessarily unique, but tampon applicators, flip-flops, full beers, and a ton of styrofoam. P 3 hyperdermic needles, 12 golf balls, and the most common had to be bottle caps.

murray Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Yea, bottle caps were all over the place. Rick and I pulled out a TV that will need some serious work to get it running, the picture tube was broken. I also found a couple of full beer cans. I have to say, the sponsors really came through with some serious items. I fully intend to support them as they have supported us.

RussC Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Our group found (weirdest/most surprising) 3/4s of a mountain bike on the north side of the river almost across from policemans, a full bottle of hard lemonade. The most common things were the many bait containers and cigarette butts. But the most unique was a tie between a stubby beer bottle, and a license plate from Manitoba. A BIG THANK-YOU to the organizers and sponsors a wonderful job. As a side note my daughter said on the way home in the truck ----dad that was a real good day. Boy was she ever tired, between the long walk and picking up garbage to playing with the dogs that some of the participants brought she had a real good time. Thanks again Russ C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheeler Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Tons of drinking straws and styrofoam in the drift wood piles, along with tons of lighters and a dozen empty packs of rum and wine dipped cigars, all in one spot. And Carl and I could probably start a used shoe store with what we found. Thankfully, no bodies again this year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reevesr1 Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 KY Jelly. Used. I also found a couple of the straws you use for wd40 or the air cleaning cans (getting high on the air cans?) 4 minnow rig packages and 5 or 6 minnow tubs. Thanks to everyone, especially the organizers and sponsors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
headscan Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 I also found a couple of the straws you use for wd40 or the air cleaning cans (getting high on the air cans?) 4 minnow rig packages and 5 or 6 minnow tubs. If you found the straws with the minnow tubs it was probably poachers using WD40. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theiceman2 Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 If you found the straws with the minnow tubs it was probably poachers using WD40. I agree, I have seen alot of guys using WD-40 ice fishing. I don't know why but apparently trout love it, cant be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reevesr1 Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 That's probably it. I've called in poachers once fishing that spot. I'll be watching it closer from now on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timjorourke Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 11 Lighters... 12 Minnow containers... infinite bottle caps and foam... Interesting why there are so many bottle caps and not as many bottles...do the caps come off and sink while the bottles carry on or vice versa? Perhaps we should have collected all of the shoes in one spot and tried to match them...just like my socks on laundry day. Thanks to all, it was great fun to be on the river giving a little back for all the great fishing days I have had!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawrence Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 bottles caps would have to be the most thing I picked up and a scooter would have to be the weirdest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trailhead Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 I found all kinds of things, for me the most common item was plastic water bottles. The strangest was a chasis from an old computer, also got a real rusty kids mountain bike, a 3 x 3 foot piece of sheet metal and a City of Calgary "pathway closed" sign. Thanks to the organizers, everyone who was out deserves a hand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
