  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo

i see them fishing all the time.. not for just the sport but to eat.. so much mercury ...
 
Hahahaha, the title of this thread made me laugh. I live in a town right at the edge of lake ontario, darlington power plant is about 2000 meters from the peir, and everyone has always dissed the lake. I fished from that peir once, would actually love to again. There are some nice fish...I would never, EVER eat anything from that lake, mind you - especially THIS area of it. Oh yes, people do.

"Concentrations have fallen by more than 90 percent in some cases"

They might be "safe" now in moderation but I also would not eat them. I only eat Miami canal fish lol kidding.


NY has done a lot to clean up its act in last 10 yrs as far as nature goes.

Can't be any worse than smoking cigs I eat fish from lake erie all the time, not very scared. If eating lake fish takes me out so be it same with playing outside in the sun. I always find it funny to see a guy around here smoking a cig and cleaning a fish and only takes the back strap because he is scared murcury and pcb will kill him. LOL
 
thats true... but that mercury can really build up in the body and you may live but have less ability to think...

Cigs don't allow you to breath and drinking ruins your liver people still do it. lol I just love eating perch and walleye..and I'm hooked!
