River guide Patricia “Sam” Decker was one of 32 volunteers and nine drift boats that answered the call to help clean up the Mud Flats above Balls Eddy on the West Branch of the Delaware River. Many bags of trash were collected and an astonishing number of old tires. The day was organized by the West Branch Anglers, Friends of the Upper Delaware River (FUDR) and Patagonia Inc. According to Jeff Skelding, executive director of FUDR, there will be two river cleanups planned for 2015. You will find more about this river cleanup in this week’s fishing column, The Incomplete Angler, by Andy Boyar on page 31.
