I have been waiting for that for quite some time. After we got the carp advisory last year or the year before I emailed the DWR with the question about catfish in the lake and they gave me the contact information for the water quality department, so I asked them, but I guess I just had to wait a couple of months!
I wonder what the next fish on the list is...I wonder if the walleye are okay to eat? In the article it states that carp and catfish are the only ones affected, but since Walleye are predatory fish, wouldn't the PCB's travel up the food chain in higher levels of concentration?

I've posted to this effect in the past. As you move up the food chain (walleye) you should expect to find higher and higher levels of contaminants. It's a shame. What's eve more shameful is that the state is so slow in issuing this info to the State. For a lot of us who have been around here a while, it's a common sense thing. Other's might eat ignoring the percieved risk, and still others probably have no idea of the lake's history.

It's crazy to me, but I still know a couple guys, despite all the warnings, that go out to Utah Lake and catch a mess of fish, (mostly white bass) and eat every single one of them. It just seems that the risks far out weigh the benefits. I wouldn't eat a dang thing out of that stinking, crap filled lake. It is kind of fun to fish though.
