So, I went fishing on Utah Lake (near Bird Island) on July 12 and caught several large catfish. The fillets are now in my freezer. Should I throw them out? I didn't see any algae blooms out by Bird Island, and catfish would seem to live below the level of the blooms anyway. I actually went "swimming" to retrieve some snags on the bottom and waded in to the island also. I didn't feel any ill effects of that exposure. Should I worry about eating the fish I caught? I don't want to waste them, but I don't want to get sick either. What say ye all?
