If it’s possible to go upstream of wherever the industrial areas were, you should be able to find cleaner waters. Find a local bait shop and see what the real scoop is - it could just be nannystate drivel and everything might be fine. To get your feet wet and get started freshwater fishing, night crawlers are the easiest. Every freshwater fish will go after them, from walleye to bass to dumbass bluegill.
