When’s the last time you picked up your fishing rod? If you’re looking to relax on the water while giving back to nature, the South Carolina Wildlife Federation (SCWF)<\/strong> invites you to take part in their annual Plishing Challenge<\/strong> this summer.<\/p>\n

Plishing<\/strong> combines the Swedish phrase “plocka upp”<\/em> (meaning “pick up”) with fishing. The challenge encourages participants to enjoy catch-and-release fishing while also cleaning up litter from local waterways.<\/p>\n

It’s simple, fun, and open to all ages. Once registered, participants can submit photos of each fish caught and each bag of litter collected through the event app. No measuring or weighing required—just snap a picture, log it, and enjoy the outdoors.<\/p>\n
