You gotta know your audience better if your gonna drop lie bombs like that. Jesus, dude.
Time to shut this one down,
@InGoodCo lol...
1) Arnold's Park, The Emporium, three top notch golf courses, Bridges Bay, scuba diving charters and instruction, Iowa's best multi-species fishing on 5 different lakes (among others), awesome family beaches at Emerson, Marble Beach, Mini Wakan, Isthmus, Gull Point, Pikes Point and others, tons of interactive art museums for kids, kids summer theater programs, PWC rentals, boat rentals, paragliding, free concerts every Saturday night, free fireworks over the water every Saturday night (that put most towns to shame), awesome bar/bar band scene within walking distance of every hotel if that's what you're after, numerous fishing guide services for any species/season, camping literally every couple miles, Emerson and Miller's Bays turn into party coves on weekends...yeah, there's nothing up there.
2) Talk to me about water quality and fish consumption advisories (that's what they're called)...you seem to know a whole lot more than a guy who's on the water/ice there year round and has been since I was a wee little one. West Okoboji is the only one called a blue water lake; it got that description in the 1800s because due to it being the deepest lake in Iowa at 134', it appears "more blue." Spirit, East O, Upper/Lower Gar are all glacial style shallow lakes and they don't have the same appearance.
The water quality is amazing up there and consistently ranks among the highest in the state. This past winter the bluegill harvest was the best one on record and I caught several over 11". Walleyes are flying out of the water this spring. It's also amazing for swimming...you can go there right now and see the bottom clearly in 15' of water at the north end, Emerson, Pikes Point, anywhere you want to swim..you pick.
Last but not least is the dumbest of your dumb stuff...
There has never in the history of the Iowa DNR been a fish consumption advisory at the Iowa Great Lakes. Never. Even when you were a kid. Just for kicks I texted Mike Hawkins (head DNR biologist who manages the entire lake system and hatchery at IGL...google him, he's a cool guy) and he confirmed it. There's never even been one in Dickinson County before. Just to help you out next time you want to spew bullshit, there's a page on the DNR website that maintains all current fish consumption advisories located
here. You'll notice that there isn't an FCA in effect anywhere close to western Iowa. In fact, here's what the DNR has to say about eating fish that come out of our waters in this state:
And
here's their fact sheet on Iowa fisheries.
Sorry for the long post but the level of dumbassery in this post deserved a response.
