Scary stuff!<br /><br />After reading your words and Kate's, I need to go back to my joyful ignorance. <br /><br />~Michaeldoylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12901661320505882735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4956989639073843954.post-12827273055066539332011-07-09T21:54:45.341-04:002011-07-09T21:54:45.341-04:00Kate - I live on the shores of Lake Ontario in a c...Kate - I live on the shores of Lake Ontario in a city that had a similar problem before the rain containment system was dug into the bedrock. I concur with all of your thoughts on fish from those waters. Think of it - by the time that water gets to me, it has passed through many more metropolitan areas. <br /><br />We would take some of that NJ rain though. We haven't had any in at least two weeks. I still wouldn't touch the fish or swim in the part of the lake where the city's river empties into a basin.<br /><br />A sad state of affairs actually. Reading a state fishing license is eye-opening.Kathryn Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16757414380685368592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4956989639073843954.post-28917650985421573122011-07-09T11:49:02.140-04:002011-07-09T11:49:02.140-04:00Sometimes, it is best to wait.

Now with the rainwater containment system that allows the water to be held for 48 hours as it is cleaned (not squirrel poop, but human poop) it is only after a spectacular rain that causes the northern suburbs to open their sewers to the lake that we are kept from the beach. Still, I wouldn't eat anything caught close to the city, though I watch many fisherman stand along the water's edge.<br /><br />There will be another day for clamming.Katehttp://tabor330.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
