Its disgusting, I cannot remember the last time I have gone fishing and NOT picked up at least an empty bag of groundbait, handful of thick mono, crisp packets etc all from within 5 feet of the lake.
I personally feel a person should be banned at the least from a lake for some time if caught, totally inexcusable.
You get fined for dropping litter, fags and chewing gum on the streets. You can even have to go to court about it. Why not fine people for littering on a lake, then everyone can buy some bins
