Toxins in water have always been a concern however a recent study shows the effects on the fish that we eat.  Wes Lawson shares what he’s learned about the study & how more research is being done on the fish that intake the toxins.  In the fly fishing world many have gone to catch & release, not because of the health of the fish but because in keeping the fishery healthy, enabling more fish to be caught.
