Lake Erie fishing safe
CLEVELAND -- At the traditional start of the Lake Erie fishing season, wildlife experts say fishing is safe despite recent scares involving a virus affecting sheepshead and a die-off of perch.
"I don't see any problem with touching or handling or being exposed to any of those fish," said John Hageman, laboratory manager and Ohio Sea Grant extension agent at Put-in-Bay in the Lake Erie resort islands near Sandusky.
The biggest issue for people who want to enjoy Lake Erie would be rotting fish that could make the lakeshore smell and raise bacteria levels in near the shore, Hageman said.
