On Sunday, March 22nd the Potomac Valley Fly Fishers and friends organized a “Trash Pick Up” on Big Hunting Creek.  Art Friedlander, who initiated the clean-up, notified members of the National Capitol Trout Unlimited, Seneca Valley Trout Unlimited and Potomac Patuxent Trout Unlimited chapters.  Eleven members of Potomac Valley Fly Fishers, one member of Antietam Fly Anglers and one member of Adams County PA Trout Unlimited also took time on a beautiful Sunday afternoon to help clean up our wonderful home waters, Big Hunting Creek. We had approximately 25 volunteers including 5 youngsters.

We managed to gather and fill 2 truckloads of trash during the clean up.  We deposited the trash in the dumpster at Cunningham State Park headquarters. The results of the effort were obvious as we traveled down the route 77 toward Thurmont. What a difference a few volunteers can make!  It is our hope to make this an annual event.  For further information contact John Brognard - jb@flyfishwebdesign.com or 301.371.4205.
