RE: Illinois Fish Advisory
I used to eat carp out of the Fox River and I'm okay. [twitch... twitch]
I'm pretty sure they don't test gar... so it's probably best to not eat gar out of thewaters that have advisories for other predator fish. (IL River, Fox River, Kankakee, Des Plaines, Mississippi etc., etc..)
Thanks for posting the link Fishpoint.
