And have you seen whats on the bottoms of any of the lakes--there are very few that haven't been used as dumping grounds for someone's trash and cars? Or is it just a case of out of sight, out of mind?
Or..........how about the 3500 OIL Wells that existed on the land that now makes up Dale Hollow Lake......If you fish the lake a lot, and you fish it the right times, you will SMELL it, and SEE IT..........lots of residual OIL.

That doesn't keep the meat hunters from taking smallies, AND it doesn't keep me from taking the ocassional walleye or trout or spot.

AND what about KY Lake, or Barkely Lake.......you'd eat fish there........well, that is the CUMBERLAND and TENNESSEE Rivers......and they flow through some of the WORSE offenders for toxic waste in our country..........

You guys KILL ME.
