2009-2010 Guide to Eating Ontario Sport Fish

[dodomember]

Hello,
As I know that just like me, there are many people out there who fish for the fun of fishing but also for the taste of the fish in their mouth, this guide (http://www.ene.gov.on.ca/en/water/fishguide/index.php) from the ministry of environment might be interesting to take a look at. While I heard many contradictory stories about eating or not eating fish from lake Ontario, especially Salmon, Trout or Carp which can get pretty big (and store some heavy metal and toxin in their tissues), It looks like you can eat them but don't just make it your daily diet.
This is my first contribution to this forum, that has provided me with so much infos already.

cheers
Dodo

Naw, I'd leave it up. Now all three threads are connected.

For some reason the salmonid species have the highest restrictions no matter where you fish them from.
