I know there are certain lakes and rivers in Ohio they recommend you do not eat any fish from due to high mercury and/or PCB levels. Does anyone have some information on what fish are safe to eat from the lakes and rivers. Just out of curiosity do you all catch and release or keep most of them to fry up?
Here you go. http://www.epa.state.oh.us/dsw/fishadvisory/index.html It should also be in the information you got when you bought your fishing license.
Here is a link to the Ohio EPA current Fish Consumption Advisory http://www.epa.state.oh.us/dsw/fishadvisory/index.html
Oops. M.Magis beat me to it while I was looking it up. Personally, I mostly catch & release, unless I'm fishing for walleye, salmon or trout (northern Michigan). I keep panfish sometimes, but usually just when I'm on vacation up north.
