They are warning people to not have any contact what so ever with the water supplied by the city of Toledo. It has been on the local Toledo TV stations all day today. So if the contamination is coming from the lake water how are you going to handle the fish that you catch. How are they not going to be contaminated at least on the outside where you are handling them to remove hooks and to place them into your cooler. Probably the closer you are to the Toledo water intake the more pronounced the problem would be. I know yesterday afternoon there was a mild algae bloom in the area of B-can, it looked like a normal green algae bloom to me but I am no expert on algae blooms other than what they feed on is a by product of pollution in the form of phosphorous and nitrogen. Google Toledo a water problem and read what several sources have to say. It does not sound good to me. The toxins involved can damage your liver among other things.
