This trash bag ruined my perfect trout morning 😤

Was working this gorgeous pool upstream when I spotted what looked like a rising trout. Cast after cast at this "fish" until I waded up and found a sandwich baggie snagged on the rocks, glinting in the sun. Totally killed my vibe knowing someone walked all the way up this pristine creek but couldn't pack out their trash. Made me realize how one selfish moment ruins it for everyone else. Now I carry a dedicated trash pouch and follow these basics: 🎣 Pack out ALL trash (even if it's not yours) 🚤 Give other anglers space - Golden Rule applies 🔇 Keep noise down - let people enjoy nature's sounds 🐟 Handle fish properly for catch & release More anglers on the water means we all need better etiquette or we'll lose access to these spots. What's the most annoying thing you've seen other anglers do? #fishing #fishingetiquette #leavenotrace #responsibleangling #Outdoors
