Sorry to here that and it chaps my hide to.
Here's two things I've done:
1. Go to your favorite spot when you know there will be other fisherman there. Take your fishing pole and a couple big trash bags. Have friendly conversations about fishing and while your at it pick up some trash in front of people. I usually whine a little while I'm doing it, things like I can't believe a fisherman would do this, oh wait it must be, look at all the worm containers and fishing line. More then once I had a few start picking up trash as I'm chatting with them. (I also understand that the people that did start helping most likely weren't the ones littering, but it was sure nice having more hands picking up trash and hopefully I left an image to not litter and help by picking up trash as you leave.)
2. If I see someone leaving there trash or littering, I always ask them to pack it out and/or please stop while I'm standing there.
