I went thought from AB to BC and a police office popped out with a black lab that was "Trained in sniffing out zebra mussels" I have a feeling that dog was trained to sniff for a whole lot more. That would be a real shame to get pulled over for a boat check and the drug dog sniffs out your stash.

And why would I care about my post count is that important to YOU!!! I just thought it was funny that you seem to have problems going through something that is so simple. I think the process is a good idea. Pulling my plug every time is a pain because of location but i will do it Mack |

For me, I've only been stopped coming back from the foothills or Jasper in my 12 foot aluminum since I'm usually fishing lakes that are electric motors only. Not exactly a hard water craft for them to inspect. Kind of a waste of too much time on my little boat when I see others with full sized, live well, bilge pump systems, etc. That spend about the same amount of time there. At least I have a great collection of shammies now :) If I came through with my bigger boat, I would expect to spend some additional time there. It doesn't sound like that is happening and Ken's example shows a real lake of consistency. So how effective is this going to be at stopping the spread? |

also you should make sure your boat is drained as the weight of water floating around can cause dangerous conditions for you when driving Lake Ontario is over run with zebra mussels and they kill everything since they filter feed. Sent from my SM-G903W using Tapatalk |

Is there any way to kill them? Is the lake ruined forever? |

Only option is manual removal (scraping) just to keep them off the structure, but this only keeps them at bay, they will grow back. Exposure to dry conditions for 30+ days will kill them, say on a boat or dock etc |

Some people love to cry out loud.
With the exception of the bigus dickus contest, this thread serves as a reminder that a serious problem exists and the public awareness campaign is like a stupid television ad that angers us but causes us to remember the name of the product anyway. Like that annoying 'Gary' from Canadian Tire.
It occurs to me that anyone who has had a boat for longer than zebra mussels have been making the news has forgotten the bilge plug. ONCE. It would be my guess that if a person feels the need to speed excessively every time he gets into his truck then a little thing like being held up by a stop/check would drive him crazy. The bit about the upside-down tinner on the rack needing the plug out is a bit perplexing. That one needs to be challenged in court. |

Ken, if I'm interpreting this right, the bill / law allows them to check your boat regardless - no exemptions. You can get to the good parts of the Bill 13 if you search for "inspect" http://www.assembly.ab.ca/net/index....l=28&session=3 Quote:
Mine has been easy with the little water crafts but I did notice varying degrees on bigger boats. Mostly as quick as my little boat... |
How many of you...
Since this is really about the spread of invasive species, how many of you are doing this (especially the bold one):
