You can help prevent the spread of nuisance aquatic weeds and the Zebra Mussel Long Lake and Raquette Lake are currently free of the major aquatic weeds and pests discussed here.
Adults are black and white striped and usually less than one inch long.
Thoroughly inspect your boats' hull, outdrive, trim plates, trolling plates, prop guards, transducers and trailers. Remove any aquatic plants and plant fragments clinging to the trailer frame, axles, wheels, hitch, motor lower unit and boat interior spaces. Drain ALL bilge water, live well and bait buckets before leaving infested waterways. Left over bait should not be transported from infested waters to non-infested waters.
