Golden Mussel found at Oroville

Golden mussel found during boat inspection at Forebay
OROVILLE — A boat going through the inspection process at the Thermalito Forebay on Wednesday was deemed positive for the golden mussel, an invasive species that the California Department of Water Resources is trying to keep away from local waterways.
Inspections began on Monday at the Forebay where boaters must go through a checkpoint where workers thoroughly check the watercraft for standing water and signs of the mussel.
DWR issued a statement on Thursday that said the mussel was found on a pontoon boat. According to the statement, the boat was purchased on Wednesday morning by residents of the Oroville area. The statement said the watercraft had been away from the waters in the delta for “an unknown period.”
“Staff immediately contacted the California Department of Fish and Wildlife for further inspection and decontamination,” the release from DWR said. “The vessel will not be allowed to launch at a DWR reservoir until the Department of Fish and Wildlife confirms that it is free of mussels.”

What are the chances this is the same pontoon boat attempted at Berryessa and Folsom?

Hard to say if it’s fake news
But if it’s not then it’s apparent that bass boats

are not the carrier of mussels
Instead it’s boats that stay mourned on water for extended periods of time. Not boats trailered about
It is fake news. See the picture of SEAL CHECK?
Orville is not doing a seal/band quarantine
Rather an inspection
I don’t recognize that spot pictured. Anyone?

I had my boat checked for Oroville - they are only doing the inspections at the Forebay.
They put a wire with a number wrapped at the front part of the trailer and when you launch they take it off (and put a new one on when you leave the lake). Hours of 7:30 - 10:00 for launching. I think 6:30 - 9:00 would be better... If not 5:30 - 10:00.

What a scam. The find a boat on opening day of every inspection and it’s always a pontoon boat moored in the delta for an unknown period of time. If you believe that I have a covid shot for you that will stop you from getting or transmitting the virus. Democrats lie. It’s what they do. In California if they don’t want you doing something they just make it too much of a hassle to do. Just look at all the ridiculous guns in place to make it hard to practice our constitutional rights. Bottom line they don’t want us boating and fishing so this is how they take it away from us. Been paying for quagga mussel stickers for years and for what. Nothing spread. Why panic about this. It’s a con. Just more control issued by Commiefornia. There has to be some organization with enough funds to push back on this. Say goodbye to tournament circuits. It would be impossible to run them. I’ve heard at new melones the average cost of decontamination is $103 and at Folsom they shut down ramps as they don’t have to staff to operate them. A typical California failure.

100% this. This is all a LIE. You're right, they just killed tournament bass fishing for the most part.
They're finding mussels at these lakes but in 5-10 years the lakes that don't have inspections there will still not be a sign of mussels whatsoever. This was all planned. They want the delta tunnels and irrigation districts want full control of the water to send into fields. If they get rid of the people that use these resources then they can do whatever the hell they want with all the water without having to answer to anyone.

My inspection took less than 10 minutes, I’m not sure how this “kills” tournament fishing?
Tell me, who “planned” this? I would like to know what reality you all live in?

Really......... Ken Norton Jr......If you don't get it then you never will. Think of one lake tournament schedules and the cost and hassle to just going fishing. And, what about the last 75+ years of no mussels to be seen or found but all of a sudden some guy claimed to have spotted some and now they're here and getting moved from one body of water to another overnight. Forget about fishing and go and get your 10th covid booster. Unbelievable...........

Well it’s free to get inspected.
And it sounds like you are confused about how invasive species work. Do you understand we had thousands of years with no Scotch Broom? And now try hiking through the hills in Butte County…..this is obviously just one example.
Look at Asian Carp in the Mississippi Delta. It’s nihilistic (and perhaps anti-human) to attempt nothing. How would your perspective change if you owned a houseboat on Oroville? Should a government facing adversity just roll over?
An authoritarian government would try to stop it, a democratic government would try to stop it. Only a really impotent society would do nothing.
Given enough time this mussel obviously will end up in Oroville. Who knows how it will persist with high temperatures and huge water-level fluctuations (combined with mitigation efforts). I would hope it would be “nothing”.
It’s just really easy to sit back and criticize. I have read a ton of history - your ilk has been wrong a lot! Just try to ponder that.

getting played. You can always move out of ca. If fishing tournaments means that much to you there problem is solved. Central and Southern Ca are next on there list. But chit happens and you'll get over it.
And the people bitching the most maybe should run for office to chance the way current things are going.

First off. I’m not a tournament fisherman but used to be. Circuits travel from lake to lake. How will that be possible now. Some lakes have quarantine periods from 30-60 days. Depending on who controls the lake. From what I read for some reason Oroville has no quarantine but Folsom does. Berry also I thought. And how about if they are gonna do this try keeping better hours. I like to be on the water at safe light. Not 8:30. Back to the whole tournament thing and like I said it’s not my life anymore. I’m just saying how will 150 boats be processed at 7:30. How will they travel from lake to lake in a circuit with quarantine periods. It’s not gonna work. Bottom line is I want to fish where I want to, when I want to without comrade Newsom controlling my time schedule.

The real questions have not been answered by any state officials.
If the state is worried about the movement of the mussels to bodies of water by vessels that will destroy their infrastructure.
Why would they want to waste tax dollars to build the tunnels, that will be damaged by mussels and send them elsewhere????
You have to admit it’s funny this boat keeps showing up with all the mussels attached to it. The same story???

I’m not going to waste my time because I’m pretty sure you were the guy talking about Candace Owen’s being a great news source, so I’ll take any insult from you as a compliment.
Maybe, though, you can ponder why our Republican Assemblyman is essentially signing off on this:

I think it’s pretty normally for a reservoir to take mitigation efforts. Try getting outside and interacting with normal people. I have tons of conservative and liberal friends and we laugh off the differences. Calling for somebody to be silenced on an old school forum like this? Come on man! Learn to laugh it off a bit.

Hey, we can agree on the facebook hate! I only linked it because it’s our Republican Assemblyman’s official statement on the Lake Oroville situation (not a news report). Btw, Republicans aren’t communists or socialists.
Maybe you would feel different if you grew up swimming and fishing this lake everyday, but I would like to see it preserved for as long as possible and honestly resent being called a communist for simply holding that view.

I noticed their policy is more realistic. Inspection clean and dry.
If that’s the case it make a lot more sense than 30 mandatory quarantine then a lock to that specific body of water
If I understand Orville’s policy correctly I can fish any water in the country today show up clean and dry at Orville and launch with passed inspection
The next day.
Upon departure I get a green tag that lets me bypass the inspection the next time I come back.
This makes a hell of a lot more sense than Folsom berry new Melones and others
Like you pointed out. Its republican
I don’t agree with being locked out for 30 days sitting dry because I visited clear lake
It addresses the mussel issue and retains our freedom logically as until things are figured out.
This will allow freedom of movement between waters and tournaments can deal with that
Just be clean and dry and get the green tag in the prefish

Some water authorities are approaching the golden mussel logically and others are using it to shut down and or privatize waters plain and simple
Just like Covid. Don’t let a crisis go to waste
It was the greatest gift given to the leftist authoritarians

I was the guy recommending Candace Owens. If you have a problem with her then you need to get your head checked.
The Lib's don't like the web anymore since it has turned conservative.

. You don't like free speech or some other platform with ideas that are different they yours. You're all pathetic. Closed minds that get your info from one source and you believe it like a religion.
BTW, I tossed my Trump flag in the trash a couple months back. You probably still have your Biden/Kamala flag flying.

That’s right! I actually have three XL flags flying on my truck: Kamala 24, a retro Hillary 2016 flag (autographed by Tim Kaine), and then a custom LGBTQ flag with a bass silhouette superimposed over it. You will know it’s me because I’m always BLASTING NPR (to the point I have been stopped by the police). I have two large bumper stickers: “Newsom for President” and “Restrict access to our waterways.”
I won’t describe my bass boat.

Zebra mussels are thought to have arrived in 1986 and were first discovered in Lake St Claire in 1988. How many decades before then, do you think, had the same ships arrived in that port already? These conspiracy theories don’t hold any water.

This is no scam it's real as long as the delta is a breeding ground and they won't shut the source of the problem down lakes are going to start closing
I'm sure the central valley will be next and if it happens it happens fishing or no fishing this is a serious problem fighting it won't solve the problem but
prolong it. It's not going to go away over night. Most likely it going to get worse before it gets better.
I'm sure it's coming to the valley and all the way to southern ca. they can't shut the delta down it impossible to do but you can bet there working on the problem with these mussles.
Yes water going to be sold and moved and there nothing we can do about that. So for now we just need to sit back and see what happens.
Me I'm going to do nothing Im just getting over 10 hours on surgery table for cancer. I was gutted like a fish

I'm recovering just fine no more cancer with all my current images and test. Fishing right now is on the back burner for me. I haven't even been in my shop since march and it next door only thing I've done is keep the batteries charged in my boat. I'm looking forward at 69 to live a tad longer.
Right now building jigs fishing and the golden mussel problem just ain't that important right now.

No, too big of a job for Roto-Rooter.
It's a matter of time when billions spent on Tunnels are jammed and the entire system worthless.
Any assumptions of not finding mussels years from now is completely false considering the devastation in South American waters and everywhere else these Mussels are found.

I love the back and forth on this issue . If you live in California and believe our elections aren't fraudulent and the California Government is not ran 90% plus by Democrats and berucrats you are living in denial . Here in California where are Government lies to us on a regular bases cause that's the only thing they now how to do . This GM thing is just another form of control and if don't see that our cant read between the lines you just might be part of the problem . Its time for the rest of the people to wake up our stop turning a blind eye to the non sense . They control our hunting fishing guns cars insurance gas prices and they spy on us on a regular bases . You ever wonder how the cost of living has drop in every state but California . Just keep voting for Newscum he will save us .
Lastly the GM thing is a scam . They just showed up over night and then spread a crossed the hole delta in weeks seams fishy . And for the the games that the lakes are playing they should all be under the same rules our no rules at all . its not up to the induvial lakes to in force policies . That is a state decision and should be voted on and approved by the people . Not just decided on by water districts that then make different rules on each lake total BS . SO if your looking for the truth you wont find it here just keep watching msnbc and cnn they will keep you informed of some lies . if you want a good video to watch . look up in deep in the delta he does a interview with CDFG on this issue . And if you can read between the lines and listen to there non sense you just might under stand what I'm talking about .
