I was there on April 17th. 2013. Caught 2 rainbow trout approx. 14" in lenght. Both were infested with some sort of parasite. They are round black spots under the skin all over the flesh. From what I found on the internet they get these parasites from bird droppings. The ducks and gulls crap in the water and the fish eat this and pick up the parasite.
You can eat the fish if they are well cooked and to my knowledge humans are not infected. I don't want to take that chance.
