It it's not listed in the MNR's safe eating guide, I would suggest using the recommendations based on the Rideau R., for the stretch where the Jock flows into the Rideau.

Rumour has it there are no fish he Jock haha. I doubt there are no fish in there but I've heard many people swear that fish simply don't exist in the Jock hahahaha. Maybe they dont know how to catch them.....I know the Rideau can be sketchy at times, and if there are people that have lived on the Jock for long enough and they say don't, I'd take into acount what they say as they are local to the area. Personally I wouldn't eat fish from the Rideau, but I dont keep fish haha. My two cents

I live along the Jock in Richmond...I don't let my dog go in the river anymore. She stinks even long after she's dry
I agree with RJ - lots of farm run-off...I've never tested it but I'm sure it's not "good".
