This is way too
close to Bear Lake!
We just received
this information from Utah Department of Wildlife Resources.
"... quagga mussel veligers have been identified
and confirmed via DNA analysis in a sample taken from Deer Creek Reservoir. As
such, we have taken measures to place a "closure order" on the reservoir that
requires decontamination of all watercraft exiting Deer
Creek."
This is very sad to see. We can only hope that they don't
survive and thrive as an adult population. If they do they most certainly start
a domino effect down the Provo River, Utah Lake and Jordan River.
This is a serious
reminder to be extra cautious in the use and cleaning of your own and any
visiting watercraft visiting Bear Lake. We encourage all who have "permits to
launch" to self-police and require all vessels to be inspected before they would be allowed
to cross your property to launch.
We will be
following this with great interest.
Keep you
posted,
Claudia Cottle
