[#0000ff]No specific reports I can cite but from what I have been told, it is like some of the other "questionable" lakes on the list. Water tests showed the potential presence of vilagers (larvae) but there have been no actual mussels found...or actual live larvae.
Not sure how many years after the initial positive tests we have to wait until it gets a clearance...like Electric. Hopefully there is really not an infestation. But best to err on the side of caution.
Better than suddenly finding live adults on all the rocks and docks.
EDIT: I spent a little time looking through the DWR website and found a page that lists Utah waters and the results of invasive species testing...year by year since 2007. Red Fleet shows a positive test in 2008 but nothing since. [url "http://wildlife.utah.gov/affected-waters.html"]LINK TO WEB PAGE[/url]
