Anticipating a lot of flack with this post, but what’s everyone’s take on eating trout/salmon out of Lake Ontario? Per NYS guidelines, I've eaten a years worth since putting the boat in last month. I’ve read posts saying that when NYS tests the fish, they grind it all and test that. I’m not eating the skin, grey meat or any belly meat. Is this just a way to self justify eating more than advised? *Note - I’m primarily catch and release. Not killing every fish that touches my boat.

Thanks whaler. I knew the currents could be dangerous, but not like that. I appreciate the detail and warning. PMing for your two, but might stick to the Genny so my boys can go.

I’m not following. Why not if he’s in a life jacket and we’re in a safe boat?

We have fished Art Park and the power plant a few times and want to take our boat this fall/winter. Before we take the boat, we’d like to go with a guide for the first time. Looking for recommended guides. 2 adults and possibly one toddler.
