Dang brother! Take some pictures of the trash and fish and post them here, so I can at least live vicariously through you guys.-M-

Talk about a trashed out river!

Not as trashed now though because the roller's and I removed a few hundred pounds of beer cans, propane tanks, liver cups, tires, and the like.....

The river looks much better now, thou it is still so trashed. We filled up our boats and could not get it all. But hey - it was good to fish and catch just enough to make the fingers sore from removing so many hooks!

Yep it was a fun and tiring day. I couldn't even see John in his boat for ALL the trash he had picked up. I'll say it again the river looked MUCH better when we left.

And thanks to the folks @ Cowskin Camp Ground for letting us drop off most of the trash.

You are the man John!! Now the Arkansas and the Mo. rivers are better off because you and Janelle/me .

Sorry I couldn't join, wish I had a job that would allow me to recreate during the week like you John. I had to bust my a** hiking, um I mean working, in the Richland Creek area all week instead.

Good job to all and thanks for your efforts,
