I phoned the SMRID and got the story from the horses mouth so to speak. Shereburn is effectively closed to boats for the moment. SMRID is hoping and waiting for a service club to take over the moderating of the boat launch. Till then no boats. Lakes that have a campground, "Rattlesnake" will be monitored through the campground launch all others will be closed. So one launch at each lake and you follow their hours. Sadly this will be the new reality facing Albertan's for Zebra Mussels. I can see other irrigation districts following.
Heard a story on my walk yesterday. Saskatchewan Landing PP on Lake Deifenbaker. A man from Ontario was trying to launch a boat that was covered in Zebra mussels. By standers blocked him from the lake after a heated exchange and F&W had to be called in. The stupidity of some is overwhelming at times.
