[#0000FF]If they use rotenone it will not adversely affect the fish for either human consumption or for bait. Indigenous peoples in the Amazon discovered rotenone centuries ago and used it to collect fish for food. They still do.

[#0000FF]Just one of the many modern chemicals and medications we have gained from the Amazon forests. I understand it works by paralyzing the oxygen processing function of the gills and does not end up in the flesh at all.

[#0000FF]There have been repeated treatments at Farmington over the years to control carp and chubs. Several years ago I accompanied a fellow BFTer who had permission to gather up dead and dying minnows after a treatment. It was tough to get any away from the hordes of gulls and terns but there were plenty to go around. And the ones I caught and kept were well received by the fishies on several waters. But I can't say that all those fish survived. I invited some of them home for dinner...and other than that third eye and glowing in the dark it hasn't affected me much either.
