3/13/2010 10:44:00 AMA common question for Green Lake. I have heard arguments both for and against. I figure its ok to eat a few now and then. I have eaten some, and am still alive. Sure my hair is falling out and skin is deteriorating, but I figure it's about time for that anywho. :)

At the same time, the ones I caught were stocked, so I figured they were safe enough. I don't think I would eat something that has been lurking at the bottom for a few years though.

As for eating fish at Green lake, the way I look at contamination is how old is the fish. The older the fish, the more contamination it's going to hold. Green lake hatchery trout can't be more than couple years old. I would say they're fine, probably just as safe as the grocery stores.

3/13/2010 3:05:00 PMShoot, I think it's time to get my butt out there. Any suggestions on what part of the lake, which dock, to hit?
I'm off monday's, so hopefully it won't be too crowded etc. If anyone knows what part of the lake is the hottest spot, with a dock, any info would be much appreciated.

Nice pictures Ubanger!
