Rather Disappointing

Overall fisherman are respectful as are hunters. Most remove everything the bring in. There are always a few bad apples in bushel. unfortunately that is the society we live in. Everyone knows that. But without fisherman and hunters you all don't enjoy what we have. Yes I have seen plenty. I have been on the lake over 50 years.

As stated in previous posts, THANK YOU to the volunteers who cleaned up the ice in front of the Meredith Town Docks. We were up for only a 24 hour visit, but couldn't help but notice the debris on the ice on Saturday when we arrived and then the folks who were cleaning it up on Sunday mid-day when we left town. THANK YOU!!

Kudo's to the crew who volunteered !!

My (and I am sure many others) sincere gratitude !

To the others, I fully understand "anchoring" a Bob house .... do those pictures posted by Martbri7 look like simple 2 x 4's ..... I see multiple Skids, a 55 gallon metal firepit, trees, and so on ....

That was what I was referring to in my original post.

Finally, I also understand it is the actions of a few that shed a bad name on the majority as is the case with campers, snowmobilers, etc. Same thing applies to boaters (keep that in mind with the next upcoming season). The goal is to help correct this behavior or shame into changing. I am quite confident that many who left that ridiculous amount of TRASH behind also read this forum.

Again MARTBRI7 .... Our sincere appreciation ! well done

Glass bottles are just terrible to throw in the lake. They wash in to shore in the sand eventually and are broken and people cut their feet. It happened to one of us almost every year when we were kids. Rusty cans were also a problem, but I am thinking the cans are not the same material as they were years ago and are not so sharp.
