[QUOTE="Enslow, post: 107733, member: 948"] I am posting this thread to report what is and is not being done to protect ND waters from zebra mussel infestation. I fish alot in ND from small stocked lakes, to Oahe, to sakak, and mainly Devils lake. I have been checked by two different game wardens this spring and neither checked for Aquatic Nuisance Species on my boat or mentioned the risk of the problem coming into the state. I am very concerned about zebra mussels so i called Greg Power last week in Bismarck who is the fisheries Chief. I reported that i am not seeing law enforcement checking boats and bait containers for ANS. I also asked what is being planned for wash stations and checkpoints for ANS. The answer was that there are lots of meetings happening and there are a couple of summer employees providing ANS education at "popular" boat ramps. There are no plans to require boat inspections like our neighboring states to the West require. I believe that ground zero for the invasion of zebra mussels will be devils lake. If devils lake gets them you can bet it will spread to nearly all waters in ND because many fish devils lake as well as other bodies of water. 40 percent of the fisherman coming to Devils lake are from MN and Wisconsin according to Power. I strongly encourage everyone who loves the amazing fishing in ND to contact the NDGF and voice their concerns about zebra mussels. IMO there should be mandatory boat inspections and checkpoints on hwy 2, hwy 281, and hwy 20 as those are the main roads into Devils lake. New rules and regs mean nothing without enforcement.
