so i've been hearing reports (on the news and in the paper) about lake washington beaches closing due to high bacteria counts. the ones i know of so far are Juanita beach and Magnasun park. I think there is one down south in the renton area that is closed too, but i can't remember the name. Does this affect us fishermen at all? i mean should we worry? Should we not fish the area?#-o

For me, it just reaffirms my decision not to eat anything that comes out of that lake. (except maybe the salmon, which doesn't live in the lake).
