I never planned on eating any of the fish anyway. Perfer more just to catch and release. ????

[Christopheraaron]

I wouldn't be eating any either, but imagine how that's effecting the health of the eco-system, no point in fishing if there aren't any fish! Also, now I'm not sure what to do because the rice lake festival is that weekend as well.

The lake is absolutely full of fish but until we find out more about the contamination and its effects on human health I would recommend catch and release. In the future more structure will be added to enhance the fishing further.

hopefully I can make it out to the derby.

In that case x2 confirmed!
