They’re crazy in Sharpe and Francis Case now. They’re in lower Oahe and will soon be in ND I’m sure.

Wake boats are the scourge of the earth lol.

zebra mussels arent the end of the world, Id rather have them and still be able to take my fish home in my livewell with water in it TBH.

I wonder how zebra mussels are with water that is full of fertilizer and a higher then avg salinity like devils lake has?

They can survive the current level of salt

Here's a simple and delicious recipe for Zebra Mussel Soup:
Ingredients (Serves 4)

• 2 lbs fresh mussels, cleaned and debearded
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup dry white wine
• 2 cups fish stock or clam juice
• 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
• 1 tsp dried thyme
• 1 bay leaf
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1/2 cup heavy cream (optional)
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
• Crusty bread for serving

Instructions

1. Prepare Mussels: Rinse mussels under cold water, scrub shells, and remove beards. Discard any mussels that are open and don’t close when tapped or have cracked shells.
2. Sauté Aromatics: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, cooking until softened (about 3-4 minutes).
3. Deglaze and Simmer: Pour in white wine, stirring to lift any browned bits. Add fish stock, tomatoes, thyme, and bay leaf. Bring to a simmer.
4. Cook Mussels: Add mussels, cover, and cook for 5-7 minutes until they open. Discard any that remain closed.
5. Finish Soup: Remove bay leaf. Stir in cream (if using) and season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with parsley.
6. Serve: Ladle into bowls, ensuring each serving has mussels and broth. Serve with crusty bread for dipping.

Enjoy your safe and tasty mussel soup! Let me know if you'd like adjustments.

What about all the chemicals that flow in every spring, if they filter all that shit out perhaps they wouldn't be a bad thing. I am kidding since those little buggers are sharp to walk on

They found them in Oahe on one of the farthest south boat ramps they pulled last fall. Makes sense with folks jumping the dam. We’ll see how the spread goes. Sdgfp was quiet about it, just one press release.

Maybe that’s why all the pigs are being caught this year. 3 more over 31 last weekend out of one boat.

This fall is going to be a crowded mess but some huge fish will be caught!

isnt it the shad that they planted after the big floods. Up here in nodak we have tree huggers at the GF that go to classes over in MN/MT/WA.......... to scared to stock something.

Nope its the lake herring. Im sure the shad supplement them some but the herring are so nutrient dense its growing some monsters

Just got picture of a buddy out fishing and he got a 32 and a 29 a few minutes ago

Hard to believe they can’t find a way to eradicate these little bastages.

Just like all the 3rd world trash invaders mostly Islam a d these mideastern muslims need eradication invasive species.

I wonder if black drum eat them? Also, the round goby DOES eat them and the great lakes are beautiful now. IMO. I wish we'd given more concern for carp.
