CAN'T SEE THE TOP!!!

[Daddy Carp]

HAVING CLEANED SEVERAL PONDS, FROM OVER-GROWTH, BY PULLING AN OLD BED SPRING THROUGH THE POND, I GOT AN IDEA AS I SAT WATCHING MOSS, STYROFOAM, BRANCHES AND OTHER TRASH GRAB MY LINE & CARRY IT DOWNSTREAM. IF SEVERAL BOATS COULD MANUEVER FLOATING LINES, NETS, ETC. TO CORAL THE SURFACE TRASH IT COULD THEN BE COLLECTED & REMOVED EASILY. LAKE TANEYCOMO IS A BEAUTIFUL LAKE BUT BECOMMING HARD TO SEE DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF DEBRIS & TRASH FLOATING ON TOP. THE FURTHER YOU GO DOWNSTREAM, THE WORSE IT GETS. MOST I THINK COMES FROM "TOURIST-VILLE". THIS IS A PROBLEM WE MUST ENDURE FOR THE REVENUE THEY BRING. WE CAN, HOWEVER, KEEP OUR AREA IN CHECK WITH A LITTLE ORGANIZED TEAMWORK FROM WE THAT ARE CONCERNED WITH OUR LAKE & AREAS.

I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A "ROUND-UP", FROM TIME TO TIME, OF THE FLOATERS & DEBRIS ON LAKE TANEYCOMO. USING METHODS AND CONCEPTS SIMILAR TO THOSE USED TO CORAL AND CONTAIN OIL SPILLS. IF THE DEPT. OF CONSERVATION OR ANY OTHER MAJOR GROUP WOULD LIKE TO ASSIST, SPONSOR OR DIRECT SUCH AN EFFORT I WOULD BE MOST WILLING TO PROMOTE AND PARTICIPATE IN THE EVENT. MY BOAT WILL ONLY HOLD SO MUCH DEBRIS BUT 30 - 40 BOATS UP & DOWN THE LAKE WORKING TOGETHER FOR A WEEKEND EACH SPRING & FALL WOULD KEEP OUR LAKE IN TOP SHAPE. I'M SURE THAT THE POWER COMPANY DOSEN'T WANT THE TRASH THROUGH THEIR TURBANS & WOULD BE WILLING TO ASSIST. THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY SHOULD ALSO BE MOST WILLING TO PARTICIPATE, CONTRIBUTE MONEYS, SUPPLIES OR WHATEVER SUPPORT THEY CAN AS THEIR INCOMES DEPEND ON THE TOURIST "RETURN VISITS".

ANYONE WILLING TO HELP MAKE THIS HAPPEN OR ANY ORGANIZATION OR AUTHORITY WILLING TO TAKE ON ALL OR PART OF ORGANIZING & SPONSORING THIS PLOY; PLEASE E-MAIL ME AT: ks_irishpower@yahoo.com I WILL RESPOND VIA EMAIL OR BY PHONE IF YOU INCLUDE A CONTACT NUMBER. I AM NOT A CRUSADER, JUST TIRED OF RESETTING MY LINES & WATCHING LITTLE CUPS,BOTTLES & DEBRIS FLOAT BY. LOL

HAVE A VERY NICE AND TROUT FILLED DAY & MAKE BETTER MEMORY THAN YOU HAD YESTERDAY. ADDRESS RESPONSE & INQUIRY TO: DADDY CARP
