Yea according to the article they are arguing about putting Don't Eat signs up. Seems the EPA and DEP should at least be responsible for a few signs at several bridges and parking areas ! I mean what are we talking money wise for maybe 5-6 signs just to make sure all know the warning. A lot of younger fishermen don't need a license so they don't get a book with fishing details and laws . Seems just a joke to me that the DEP / EPA splattered all the news media with the news about the PCB's too high in the fish but then play the no responsibility game with a few signs that probably should go up just for general purpose !  Some federal agencies are just a joke with wasted money they spend, then when they should spend a few bucks for something that makes sense the don't !   
 
That river held fantastic fishing for many years all year round, still has good fishing especially for Smallmouth! The Trout are gone and the Walleye numbers are down thanks to our beloved PFBC and Westinghouse PCB's. Muskies , Stripers , Catfish are still around in lower numbers but can be caught. It has easy access and parking , lots of room to fish , good current and is clear most of the time. Lots of good eating bars and restaurants nearby also !
 
Never got skunked ever fishing Shenango River ! Always some kind of fish biting.
