I think the disgust with the Town should be more appropriately directed to the littering, pillaging, individuals, whom make a nuisance of themselves and ruin our access points that have existed for generations and on nothing more than a gentleman's understanding of don't abuse my property and don't abuse my water. If you see something say something. It's everyone's responsibility as fisherman and conservationists to clean up after one another and police ourselves. We all lost Crooked Lake because people abused the access at the Lake House, making a mess in the parking lot when Old Daley Inn came in. One too many F You's and not enough of them directed to the slobs. Crystal lake was ruined for most all of us too, again because of a few lazy, stupid people. Whom ever thought it was a good idea to leave a case worth of beer bottles on the Ice and in the guy's yard a few years back really screwed up a nice Lake. And when people started parking on Gettle Rd, that was the final straw because Fisherman parked on both sides of the road and on lawns. Easiest answer to that was No Parking signs put up by the Sherriff's Department. Remember abuse and neglect will be the end of all the fishing resources we have in Rensselaer County or, anywhere for that matter. The reality of losing Tommhannock fishing is a real thing. The reality of losing Snyder's Lake is a real thing. Both because people treat the lakes like their toilets, ashtrays, and dumpsters. Access to Kinderhook Creek, in Malden Bridge (Columbia County) is gone for the same reason, abuse and neglect of property and waterways. We should all "Take the Pledge" and freaking mean it.
