Gene, how about getting someone from the DNR to speak about water quality issues concerning the Madison chain and/or regulation related issues.

I know the hole minnow transport issue had a lot of us confused last summer.

As far as water quality, I heard just last week that now panfish are now contaminated with Mercury, and I had always heard that they were safe to eat because they grew fairly quickly and didn't live that long.

Both plant and animal invasive species are also an issue.

What can we do as fishermen and user's of the lake to help improve the quality that has continued to degrade over the years. We have an incredibly valuable resource in these lakes and it is as if I am seeing them poisoned before my eyes.
