It is important to remember to never add to the spread of Aquatic Invasive Species – even in winter.

Never empty your bait bucket, drain the water, or release bait into the lake or other waters.

Check your bait for any aquatic invasive species prior to use.

Inspect ice fishing gear (ice auger, fishing equipment, snowmobiles) for attached aquatic invasive species.

Learn about aquatic invasive species and how to identify them.

Check out the Government of Saskatchewan Aquatic Invasive Species Fact Sheets and Meet the Species from Invasive Species Centre.
