jwo1124 Posted September 13, 2007 Posted September 13, 2007 I fish a local small pond that is a few acres. It's probably the size of a small farm pond. It has very stained water, lily pad growth along the shore lines, grows lots of stringy algae mats(angel hair I think it's called) and produces lots of bass and sunfish. I think it is shallow, I'm not sure though. Is it bas to eat anything out of such an area? To compare it to something, to give you a visual, I'd compare it to louisianna backwaters where people probably harvest crawfish. Quote
jwo1124 Posted September 13, 2007 Author Posted September 13, 2007 I was only thinking about removing some of the larger bluegill. Quote
Tokyo Tony Posted September 13, 2007 Posted September 13, 2007 I don't know the science behind figuring which fish are safe to eat and which aren't, but personally I wouldn't trust fish from a pond like that. I've heard the quality of the fish taste is closely related to the quality of the water anyway, so even if they're safe, they may not be too tasty... Quote
skillet Posted September 15, 2007 Posted September 15, 2007 Don't know about the taste (try some) but unless it catches run off from cultivated fields (in the country) or from roads and such (closer to a town) I would think it would be OK... As Ever, skillet Quote
