Yep, it's all true. And the native fish have toxic levels of mercury and
cadmium. A hell of a place to live. I won't even handle the fish from some
of the ponds in Springfield. The federal salmon hatchery in Nashua will
probably have to close this summer and they are considering burning the 600
or so breeder salmon because they might be too toxic to release.

Humans are the only animal that doesn't rot away in the environment. We
burry ourselves in and take ourselves out of the environment for a thousand
years or so. By eating the fish we can do our part to take the heavy
metals and PCBs out of the environment. Eats lots of them and do your part.

you *must* agree to allow a posthumus exploration of your brain, in
order to advance our understanding of idiots, and the subunit thereof,
buffoons. just think, there may be an obelisk erected in your memory one
day: here lies bj conner, the man who gave us our first insight into total
dumb.

Many toxins and their metabolites have a significant half-life.....best to
err on the side of caution.

The Mass, books have had mercury advisories for all native fish and other
warnings for most of the ponds for a long time. This PCB issue for hatchery
fish is new, I think they started to look into hatchery chow after that
study last winter showed high PCB levels in farmed salmon compared to wild
stock, USF&W (and presumably lots of states) have been using the same
trout and salmon pellets.

We have one badly PCB tainted stream (the Housatonic, which ran next to a GE
transformer plant) that has had a PCB warning for decades, but this new
warning on stocked trout is new. In fact the Mass. common wisdom, touted by
DFW people, is that the only safe fish are the hatchery trout. Taint so
safe after all,

Nice locution. Sad thread.

'Course, today's right-thinking flyfisherperson will only need to start
worrying once the advisories call for rubber gloves when releasing
fish.
