It seems to me that the percentage of snaggers on the Quil is enough to warrant closing the river altogether, at least in an average year, but there's yet another reason brewing.

The Jeff County Conservation District works with riparian landowners to revegetate stream banks for water quality, erosion control, etc. The District's been getting calls this season from irate landowners about the "animals" trashing their properties! Stomping down their plantings, littering with trash and fish guts
and even human waste!

I don't know if morons can be "educated" but if we don't try, we all lose!
