Even better?
You can bet the CEO of Nestle's hates it.
That's an incredible site. I grew up on Lake Ontario, about a mile down the road, with two of my best friends living on the beach and another one having a cottage there.
I know that the zebra mussels have really made the water much clearer than it used to be, clearly too radical of a change in such a short amount of time.
We used to night fish for salmon, when they head into the creeks to breed in the fall. Fish for small mouth bass off of Hamlin Beach Devils Nose (high out of our minds of course :)
I don't know too much about Nestle, but Rochester companies like Kodak, Xerox and Bausch and Laumb would literally just dump their waste into the Genesee River. I'm sure Genesee Brewing would probably do the same thing.
Anyways, last I knew it was recommended not to eat more than a few entire fish out of the lake in a year. Pretty disturbing stuff.
