What have you found and brought home on the river.

So far this year I have found  2 full vials of eggs,  price tag on each $10.95.  Over $5 in cans/water bottles.   3 broken corkers  brought home and removed studs and I will never have to buy studs again.  A broken Okuma spin  reel  just like my buddy has, now he has spare parts including full spool.  A broken pole which I will try to make a short ice fishing pole out of,   has a nice flexible tip, broke at butt.   Countless hooks, split shots and even some decent flies.   Last , but not least a few bags of garbage and lots of line.

Bring all my household and River garbage all the way back to CT and pt it in my trash here -lol.

good luck ssgt12.
corkers a plenty.
always the left it seems.
used to have a collection but could never find the matcher right.
egg vials both on the bank and floating downriver.
as a matter of fact i just found some in the back of my car yesterday putting groceries in.
do you think they are good after a week plus there.
giant salmon boat net but took it down to pville and found the guide who forgot it.
 

I still have a large net that I saw bouncing along the bottom above 81 and below Clarks falls years ago.I fished quite a way upstream after fishing it out with the hope that the owner might see me but no one claimed it.
A couple years ago I found a large long handle net just before dark at the Church pool.Again no one around to claim it so I gave it to a guide that I know as I did n't want to lug it around with me.(I very seldom use a net)
Then there are too many flys/lures/split shot/etc to mention.
While fishing Erie area several years ago I found a spinning reel that I discovered cost over $100.It was on a parking lot and at first I thought it might be broken but it is in perfect shape.No one around to claim that one either.

weight forward fly line with salmon still attached
several poles
a set of waders
bags of shot
many floats
stringers of fish that i let go if they were alive
an anchor to a drift boat
loads of hooks/line/sinker messes i disposed of
bottle of wine (unopened)

Funny Rt,
I never really find much other then the usual.. Maybe a net once and lost a few flies (cant see the eyes) dropped in the river myself..
Sinkers and swivels are always a good find,,, hooks bad..
Once I found a net and lost a net on the Ausable all in 1 season..
 
Seems like the real $$ is in deposits.. They are a regular..
PLEASE leave the glass home..
 
P.S.
I always find stripped butts, and crushed coffee containers or sorts in my wading jacket at end of day..
 

Tuna- lol- we have the same 'issue' not seeing the hook eyes. Am not bright enough to bring glasses with me- just keep poking till it feels right.

Watch fior the guy with the big X scratched in his forehead from wind driven casts, Ubangi ear loops stretched with round splitshot assortment containers, and an assortment of sproat, limerick and black-japaned turned-up-eye piercings in his lips, tongue,  eyebrows and cheeks!  At least the spiked  Billy Idol dye job is gone!   Scheek and trendy!!

TB that would make things interesting if you try that in a boat when the water is rough. You might wind up with a piercing or two
