Five Tips to Prevent Winter Spread of Aquatic Invasive Species

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.
