I don’t think zebras are a good thing, .... but,.... maybe they are cleaning up some of our polluted waters. That is probably not the case with Red Lake.
Word is that Zebe numbers have dropped a bit in Mille Lacs.

They should try zebra mussels in impaired waters like the Little Rock. See if those lil veligers can clean it up on the cheap.

No problem. I've never heard of fishing getting worse from zebra mussels.
Lots of zebra mussels in every rock in the Mississippi River and the fishing is better than ever.

We have millions of zebes in Lake Minnewaska. They are a pain for swimming, taking out my boat lift. However, fishing is still good, sometimes you have to fish deeper—due to clarity. The lake is clear as ever, property values up, pontoon and pleasure boat activities... way up.

We got them about 30 years ago. Fishing has never been better, water is crystal clear, fish taste better. Everyone should get them. They have changed the fish dynamics in the lake. More large pickerel, fewer northers, more massive smallies. Great perch and walleye populations. Other than cutting your feet on them I have not seen a downside.

The lake is clear as ever, property values up, pontoon and pleasure boat activities... way up. Kinda the way it goes on Gull lake too. The fishing is deeper.....and the weed line is deeper now. Things have changed.....but recreational boating seems to be where it's at these days. Fishing is kinda "pass'e" these days. (sorry to say).  . Still......the fishermen that go at night or learn how to fish under new conditions seem to do OK. Me and Art may be doomed tho....as you can't teach an old dog new tricks.....or so I been told. |

This is why I cannot wait to have my own little pond, tucked away from all those externalities. Don't really care what's in the pond, it's more about what's not in it. |
