Zebra Mussels Discovered in Twin Lakes

Derp... It's called the Ickiness Zebra Equilibrium (IZE). I learned about that at Wachter Junior High.

Geez, read a book you western ND goat-roper.

you get checked they hone in on the trailer, I see a couple zebras up by the trolling motor - the dude never seen em -laying in plain sight on the bow. Its a waste of $$$ to check imo

Fighting zebra mussels is like mouse pee in the sea.

I suppose they have to justify all the hubbub.

Smishek Lake leads places...Oh never mind. Only people can transport zebra's.

Once these clean a lake of its ickiness what do they feed on? Wouldn't the Zebras then clear themselves out?

If you meant the shellcrackers and gobies, I'd speculate the bream would switch diets and the gobies would predominately become forage; maybe switching to crayfish. Again, I'm thinking a few sterile paddle fish to filter out larvae...

Positive "invasives" include the ringneck pheasant, Hungarian partridge, "rainbow"/brown trout and now we're supposed to accept European carp as assimilated. For the most part "we" like the trout; don't like carp and enjoy exotic opportunities like zander in Spirit Wood and barramundi in Florida private lakes.

Paddlefish/shellcrackes/gobies: No poison: Manage the food chain. Keep fishing interesting.

That is all.
