Not to Hijack the thread but a Glass Bottle has no place in any responsible river fishermens hands except at the bar. Page 15 has a fella with a drink in a glass bottle wrapped in a cozie with the magazine logo on it. It would appear to me since it is in print and they have a logo they have no issue with glass. It appears they are on the water from the bank in the background. Regardless of on the water, near the water or under the water leave the glass at the cooler in the truck or better yet at home.

If he's "responsible" then I don't see the problem?

Need little clarity. Are you saying if he is responsible then having glass on the river is ok? Or were you questioning my use of responsible?

Bottom line is laws are written to keep glass out of the rivers for multiple reasons. Reasons we are all aware of. swimmers, wade fishers are all put at risk when and errant bottle gets broken. The river these guys were fishing has a no glass containers law which they apparently chose to ignore. Responsible to me is knowing the rules and regs before you launch. If these guys are going to get pub time and promote the sport they should be a little more responsible. My son is the one who pointed the picture out to me and he will have the task in the future of taking care of these waters we love so much. It makes me proud that he caught it and called them out for it. If these guys want to risk the fines etc for their actions that's on them . I don't think the picture has any place in a magazine that a new or young fisherman could see it and take it as being ok.

So how do you know that they were on the river? I don't see the river behind him. Maybe this was back at the truck. You don't have all the facts to make such accusations. You're not even sure that it's a glass bottle.

Well, that's hindsight. Everything that you see done in a magazine has already been done (in this case, repeatedly, for over 50 years) so know that also, and be careful where you step without appropriate footwear.

Maybe THAT was the message intended by the photo.

I wish your son well in his future career of nazi law inforcement. J/K :)

If you enlarge the picture you can see the drop off of the bank to the water. As a beer snob myself I know you cant get Founders in anything but glass. Its not an accusation on my part the photo shows the facts no need to try and read anything into it. Not much else to say about that.

Wrench that is about the dumbest thing you have ever said on this site. (well probably not you have said a lot of dumb stuff) funny ha ha :secret-laugh: Read what you will into it but calling my son a Nazi is crossing the line. At least he is smart enough to recognize and ask questions when he sees something that is not what he was taught. He is smart enough to question things. Bases on what your saying since its been done for 50 years repeatedly its OK. Tell me what a kid swimming in the whole who cuts their foot on broken glass knows about wearing proper footwear in a river. He shouldn't have to worry about that because we as adults should be responsible enough to not take glass on the river.

Had the folks at the magazine intended for it to be a PSA about glass on the river don't you think they would have captioned it or is that a Nazi move these days.

Lighten up Francis. You can see a drop off of a bank. Might be the river, might be a ditch next to the parking lot, who knows. Great you are a beer snob too, guess that makes you more knowledgeable about where the guy was standing. The only one that is reading into it is you. That's where you made up your mind with no evidence.

But I'm just jacking with you out of boredom. If you were really concerned by this atrocity you would be contacting the Mag directly and the authorities local to that river.
