Have you ever wondered what happens to those snags and broken lines from fishing? Join PCS for Get the Lead Out and you'll find out! Get the Lead Out is an in-stream and streambank cleanup to collect fishing line and lead from in the Maumee River as well as garbage from its shoreline.
This year the event has been re-vamped to be less weather and water-level dependant. We're flexible so this will fit easily into your busy schedule! Register from May 12th to June 6th, let us know when you or your group want to go out between May 23rd and June 9th. Then go collect lead sinkers, fishing line and cleanup our river! We'll provide the supplies, the maps, the tools and a t-shirt to thank you after the event! So gather your fishing buddies, church group, family and friends and call to register.
