Fox River PCB cleanup may finish year early

Recommended Posts

This hits close to home for me!! The fish out of the Fox are numerous and often huge, but it is recommended to limit our meals to one fish every two months, kinda takes the wind out of the sail when it comes to keeping fish from the river. This recommendation extends to the Bay as well. Right now lower Green bay is hotter than ever for walleyes but the health benefits of eating the fish are outweighed by the toxins in the river that get into the fish through bioaccumulation. I hope to be around when they change the recommendations and deem the fish safe to eat. Catch and release is dandy, but I do like to eat fish. It will be nice eating them without that impending feeling of uncertainty if I should be eating the fish I catch.

There's no better fresh water fish to eat than Walleye. (besides pan fish).

James, do you fish the Bay De Noc area also?
