The fact they are cooling lakes would not make them more suspect as being tainted. The intake, circulation and exhaust of the water is seperated from plant operations. The warmer temps would add to increased algae bloom and maybe some off taste. Now, as for what may or may not be in the watershed feeding these lakes that is a different story. TPWD monitors these lakes and if there was a health hazard they would post warnings to that effect. I agree with Turn Key on the catch and release, but would have no problems dining on some either. Observe the waters especially in the wetland areas. If something looks funny, or you see excessive fish kill, stick to catch and release. Safe, clean store bought fish is cheap compared to a trip to the emergency room!
