The fish you get out of the Wabash are fine to eat as far as contaminates go. Size of fish have the most to do with it. Like a lot of body's of water the fish have there own taste. What I mean is they don't taste like the fish you get from lets say Bass lake which don't taste like the fish you get from Minn lakes. I for one don't really care for the taste of Lake Erie eye's. Strip pit bluegills for me are by far better tasting than any where else I catch them. When it comes to eating fish I consider myself an expert, ha ha. I prefer the smaller size fish for eating in any species.
