Heinlein Whoooooooa there. The lake is a LOT cleaner than it used to be. I remember when I was a kid, we would go to the northern shore in Ontario and you'ld see nothing but dead fish on the beaches. Looks like the efforts of the federal government have finally paid off. It's clean enough where I don't feel uncomfortable letting the kids swim in it, though I wouldn't recommend eating fish out of ANY of the Great Lakes. http://community.webshots.com/photo/...82224353xopmod Funny, this picture made me think of this little factoid. Visiting one of the few legitimate tourist attractions at PIB, "Perry's Cave", the guide mentioned that Commodore Perry's men filled their water barrels from the springs in the cave, it seems that even then, long before the industrial age, the water in Lake Erie wasn't fit for human consumption, probably had something to with naturally occurring organisms in the water.

John remarked:

We spent a great deal of time at Point Pelee and perch fishing off the pier at Leamington. Beaches were littered with dead sheephead, but we'd pick our way through to swim. Used to go to Holiday Park down by Monroe, too, before they put in the nuke and killed all the fishies there. Of course, we lived on the Edison Lake spur of Belleville Lake and swam in it almost every day, and that made Lake Erie look pristine. -- katysails s/v Chanteuse Kirie Elite 32 http://katysails.tripod.com "Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea." - Robert A.

You are missing some of the best tasting perch and wallye you can get. Screw the rules! They're more like guidelines, anyways. |

Enrico Fermi Nuclear Power Plant is not in Monroe, and doesn't kill any fish. Screw the rules! They're more like guidelines, anyways. |

Thewy may taste good, but the afteraffect of eating all that mercury, lead and other industrial waste won't insure any longevity of your life....taste away.... -- katysails s/v Chanteuse Kirie Elite 32 http://katysails.tripod.com "Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea." - Robert A.

Enrico Fermi Nuclear Power Plant is not in Monroe, and doesn't kill any fish. It's down in that general vicinity...it was the closest city to where we went, Holiday Beach or something like that, and when they first put it in, it did kill lots of fish from all the hot water.... -- katysails s/v Chanteuse Kirie Elite 32 http://katysails.tripod.com "Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea." - Robert A.

I guess you never noticed those two huge cooling towers? You can see them from Put-in-Bay. There's no discharge of hot water into the lake. Screw the rules! They're more like guidelines, anyways. |

When I grew up it was the 50's and 50's and the plant then was Fermi 1....they have since fixed the problem. Get with the program. It did kill fish when they first built it. -- katysails s/v Chanteuse Kirie Elite 32 http://katysails.tripod.com "Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea." - Robert A.
