Southern Utah Thoughts?

[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000][size 3]According to a report on[/size][/#800000][/font] [url "https://fox13now.com/2018/05/22/invasive-mussels-spreading-in-lake-powell-prompt-boating-precautions/"]Fox 13[/url], [font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000][size 3]dated May 22, 2018, the only Utah water with a known quagga mussel infestation is Lake Powell.

Quote:With the exception of Lake Powell, all of Utah’s waterways have been cleared of the invasive mussels.

[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000][size 3]The UDWR website - [url "http://stdofthesea.utah.gov/"]STD of the Sea[/url] (2019 Version) - is still only listing Lake Powell as infected. The UDWR site listing the 'Affected Waters' hasn't been updated since Nov 10, 2010.[/size][/#800000][/font]

[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000][size 3]There are no AQUATIC INVASIVE SPECIES CLOSURE ORDERs for Sand Hollow or Quail Creek currently listed on the UDWR website.[/size][/#800000][/font]

[/size][/#800000][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000][size 3]According to the STD of The Sea program, the only time decontamination is REQUIRED is when you go from an infected body of water (in Utah that would only be Lake Powell) to a non-infected water. It is RECOMMENDED if you go from on non-infected water to another non-infected water, but I don't believe it is REQUIRED for those cases.[/size][/#800000][/font]

[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000][size 3]If you only repeatedly fish one body of water from a watercraft, lets say Sand Hollow, then no decontamination is required or recommended.[/size][/#800000][/font]

[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000][size 3]If anybody knows and can point to a source that says any of what I just wrote is incorrect, please, correct me. I'm always interested in knowing if I'm factually wrong about an issue.[/size][/#800000][/font]
