I hope you don't feel I disagreeing just to be disgreeable. These "bums" just piss me off, no matter where they fish.
I really would like to the see the urban fisheries be targeted to young anglers ONLY. It would be great to see some of these programs that give free or discounted lunches and organized activities to under privelaged kids during the summer, take the kids to these places and teach them to fish. Much better than having them roam the streets all summer long.
When I volunteered for the youth fishing program, our fishery was Glassmans. We would get there to set up for the day and see the same 40 something guy with a stringer of 10" rainbows every week. I am sure he was there every day. If we could put an end to that, and have plenty of fish in there for the kids, I would love it.
