This article in the SLO Trib does not give any detail other than an "implied more enforcement" but the issue is going to get a lot more attention

No confirmed introduction that I know of. What is odd here to is it's electric motor only so it's not like boat's from a long distance fished here much. We were at Nacimiento Saturday pretty easy entry but if the fog is like it was the WON event wont launch until 10:30 it was bad.

I have a freind in Wyoming that fishes for walley. They also have inspections on his waters. If a boat fails the inpection it gets hosed off with a chemical solution for free. 15 minutes later you are fishing.
Why is it so hard for Ca to figure that out?

LOL There are more boats in Ca than there are people in Wy.

At a training at San Justo Reservoir about the Quagga and Zebra mussels, we were told that genetic testing had been done. I believe they said that the results matched those of Zebra mussels in Kansas. These mussels can live up to 30 days out of the water under the right conditions. Check us out at musseldogs.info

John,
You told me a while ago about using vinegar, I think, to treat your bilge area for quaggas.
Am I remembering right?
If so, what is the solution you recommend?

I use white vinegar. Costs about $2 a gallon at the grocery store

John,
Do you just use it straight out of the bottle, or do you dilute it with water?
