The bad news: Superfund.

Hmm. From what I can find the Willamette contamination is mostly in the Portland area, there seems to be a Superfund cleanup underway there.troutdude;n603941 said:Oh...and I've NEVER recommended eating ANY, of the native fish. The Willy is FULL of ALL kinds, of toxic chemicals.
troutdude;n603999 said:Don't let big $$$ interests, fool ya. I've been fishing for 50 years; and have never wanted to eat a native / naturalized fish from the Willy. No matter which stretch, of it, that we are referring to. And I never have.
To each, his own. Eat those fish, if you want to. But, I don't recommend it.
