Your syndicate sounds like fishing paradise mate just wish i could instill your ethos here in Spain
they are a dirty discusting bunch of anglers where i live
in Spain ...considering we all fish out of the back of the cars
and they are that lazy to pick it up and put in their car and drop it in the rubish bins provided when leaving the lake
One fantastic swim i fish in the middle of nowhere is like fishing in a landfill site ...they really don't care
just rememered i made this video the other month it shows some of the rubbish

sorry rant over

It's a beautiful place,for sure. Took me from 1992 to get anywhere nr a place..now I'm the last member, as in im really the last..!!
Sounds like some sort of education is needed for the Spanish angling community,sound shocking for sure,if saw that amount of rubbish I'd be disappointed and disheartened..

This is the only downside to living in rural Spain
every where you go you will see rubbish and not just anglers chucking it everywhere
i used to have a Spanish fishing buddy and one day we were just packing up and i had put the rubbish next to the car
and wanted to climb up a rock to get some more footage looking down on the swim just as i turned my back Pedro
chucks the rubbish bag in the bushes
so i climb down and retrieve it and put it in the car this time and say leave it alone
well f**k me as soon as i turn my back he's only gone and thrown it out in the lake with a stone in it to sink it !!!!
lets just say it was fractious hour drive home with me biting my toungue
needless to say we just nod at each other now from opposite ends of the bar
and he was meant to be an educated man
they just have no respect for there country and sadly i think they are beyond education

The Eastern European lads are the same, never clear up, they are just as bad as the worst of us.
Banned in their droves from my local club.

I fish a public lake not big but decent fish in and a unofficial bailiff(re a guy with can of lager and spliff) goes round and puts clear bin bags in swims and then takes them to gate for bin men to put in truck

Nothing wrong with a bag in a tree if it's not 'in ya face' but you know as well as I do Gerry, that's often not the case, every bloody swim with a couple of bulging/overflowing tesco bags full up with beer cans, Mc Donalds packaging, Indian, Chinese, Pizza boxes.
It then get's windy, starts raining and the sh1t get's blown all over the place.
It boils my pi$$!!
Agree on the fag ends and tea bags, too

The pond I fish used to be over run with mice, millions of the blighters that would swarm out on a night and all around your bivvy and inside. Hanging a rubbish bag up a tree or bush was not guaranteed to stop them getting to it. How they found it and worked out to get at it boggles belief. Maybe they go up certain trees or bushes on a night looking for berries etc and just happen to find the rubbish bag.
One lad hung his brand new tackle bag up the bush, next morning they had eaten an hole in it.
Even slings and unhooking mats are not safe from being chewed when you hang them up to dry.
But thankfully, I do not know what has happened since 2019, but they seem to have vanished, lack of food, owls, mink etc, but you rarely see one.

Just thinking that would be a good name for a band....

Maybe Korda or Nash could use "bankside rubbish" for a trade name for their next range of tackle releases.

I agree with you.
I have a rubbish bag that is zipped away in a carry all. Would never think of hanging rubbish in a tree.
I've seen it before in other anglers swims and it looks a mess

. . so you put your poo bags in a zipped carryall . . .nice!
Placcy bag in a tree out of rats / harms way. ALL waste goes in that and is taken home for disposal at the end of the session leaving nothing but footprints . . .
