drsmooth Posted August 28, 2010 Report Share Posted August 28, 2010 Just Read "The Guide to Eating Ontario Sport Fish"? I have a question......... Out of all the unnamed lakes in the "Southern Ontario" section of the guide. Why is "unnamed Lake # 420" the only unnamed lake tested?. I am confused. Why not Unnamed lake 419, 421 or unnamed lake #69? If you are interested in unnamed lake #420 it is located South of Lake of Bays. Apparently the locals know it as Paint Lake.

Chrisb Posted August 28, 2010 Report Share Posted August 28, 2010 Did that lake have any restrictions on it? If it did then perhaps all the others did not have any restrictions, so they decided not to waste paper listing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin Posted August 28, 2010 Report Share Posted August 28, 2010 There's the 'General' restriction across the board, if a lake varies from that general restriction (more contaminants), then it will have it's own consumption advisory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scapulataf Posted August 28, 2010 Report Share Posted August 28, 2010 Its for all the stoners that might get baked, and then get the munchies. Just to let them know what fish they shouldn't excessively munch out on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ketchican Kid Posted August 28, 2010 Report Share Posted August 28, 2010 Are the fish in martindale pond safe to eat? I mean the book says yes but if heard the pond used to be a dump Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigugli Posted August 28, 2010 Report Share Posted August 28, 2010 The guide provides a random sampling area by area. The exception being bodies of water with known heavy usage and angling pressure. There are over 50,000 lakes in Ontario and God knows how many rivers and streams. A full sampling report of all water bodies is just not viable.

Luvevolution Posted August 30, 2010 Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 I'm not so sure that I would eat anything out of the Gibson/12 mile creek/martindale pond system. there's lots of sediment in that system and it's not exactly healthy for you. I would be more ready to eat anything out of the Niagara River though. think of it this way though..................if you've bought fish from the supermarket, chances are that you've eaten the same chemicals, or different chemicals in the same quantities as what you'de get around here. for that reason, I'de say go ahead and eat the fish, within reason. don't eat anything too big though.............ie: if it's a Bass, a good size is about 2.5-3 pounds. any more than that and the chemical content can be too much and not healthy for you.

I've got a cottage up that way... there just happens to be an MNR/Govt Office (where a lot of the water testing is handled) about a stones throw away from Paint Lake.... likely why results are posted for this "unnamed lake"! BTW, early season pike fishing in Paint can be pretty decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As we say at work, its not so much the dirt thats bad for you, but whats in the dirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Andrews Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 Its for all the stoners that might get baked, and then get the munchies. Just to let them know what fish they shouldn't excessively munch out on. That's exactly what I was thinking but they wouldn't eat the fish anyway. Takes too long to cook it so they'd likely just eat the fish crisp with a spoon right out of the box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'de take that a step further and add trail mix to the ingredients, since there seems to be a lot of those packages down by the Rootbeer river. hahahahahahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
