It's sad. Sometimes we simply lose line and there is nothing we can do to prevent these things. Most of the time however it is simple laziness. I can't count the times I've found a handful of fishing line on a stream bank. I don't think some people realize that the next time that stream floods, that line will be in the water along with that Styrofoam bait container and those empty beer cans. Unfortunately there are way too many anglers who just don't give a damn.
