Hey Kent
I have seen this cautionary advisory at a few bodies of water, my take on it is, if you stay out of the water, and clean your fish properly, you will be ok. You have to remember in this day and age, (law suit mania, they have to cover their backside.)
I was going to say ass, but I am trying to be more politically correct. [
] I would have no problem fishing Mantua, I was fishing it when the advisory first came out in late August/early Sept., and have eaten the fish from Mantua with no ill effects, besides the ones I already have. But the decision is ultimately yours, and when dealing with grand kids, we are always, as grand parents very protective. Bottom line
is, you will probably never get a straight answer to your question, from a government entity. It is your experience/gut feeling as a experienced fisherman and grandfather, that will make the choice between go or no go.
