Spent 5 of 7 days last week - kayaking on the Salt River AZ - with daughter and son-in-law - son-in-law fished the whole way...but he just throws them back..of the 5 days - little bass mostly - one large bass

Salt River AZ - not sure how fresh water is.....but sure was enjoyable - two nights it was dark when we got to Phon Sutton D in the Tonto Natl Park...takes about 5 hours for the whole trip - water high..+1200..moving....4 or five small rapids..nothin' we couldn't handle..although...son-in-law lost a rod..Now he puts a bungy on it...duh!!!

selenium, etc.

I don't fish much anymore, but when I did I would regularly get updates/advisories from the state (Utah) that suggested limiting the eating of caught freshwater fish because certain lakes and rivers are contaminated by these compounds. Maybe its all good in Ohio (if that's where you're at), but considering the long history of industry in your neck of the woods, I would suggest checking to make sure your local fishing hole is uncontaminated by leached or run-off chemicals.

I'm too old to worry about it. If I was young and planning on kids, I would be carful. Had blood checked for heavy metals and my numbers are good.
