"The District has distributed fliers to fisherman, posted signs at
the boat ramp and park gate, spot checked boats and verbally informed boaters of the
existing laws requiring all boats entering the reservoir to be clean and dry prior to
entering the park. Despite all the District�s and local law enforcement officials efforts to
enforce the laws regarding transporting water from one lake to another, recent boat
surveys have found that over one third of all boats with bilges and live wells continue to
attempt to bring outside water into the Wheeler Branch Reservoir within their bilges or
live wells. It will only take one boat from one of the seven infested reservoirs in Texas to
infest Wheeler Branch Reservoir with zebra mussels."


Been out there at least 25 times and have never seen them inspect or "survey" anyone's boat.

Zebra muscles?!! Gimme a break. They draw water in from the paluxy,so there is a source. They allow kayaks, there's another source. I've never seen a single kayaker wipe down their rig after use.Dont forget birds are a huge source. With all the flooding we've had its not going to help. Stopping bass boats from going because of zebra muscles is just an excuse to keep big boats off it. It doesn't surprise me. I've seen guys starting their big motors and the lady at the front yells at them then waits at the boat ramp. I bet it's more of people not respecting the rules rather than zebra muscles. They going to just close all lakes now?
