Fish & Game have sent an email to licence holders. The main threat seems to be ski boats that hold ballast water. However waterskiing is banned on the lake!!

Kayaks are probably the biggest threat with tourists travelling around.

Not trout fishers who only use their posts on the lake.

Even if the clams do get there, won’t the large trout clean them up?

It will be interesting to see what F&G do as well as the minister of hunting & fishing in waiting!!

If they do nothing then I will be asking for my licence to be refunded in disgust….
