Well, all three of those lakes got em from water being released from lakes upstream. Not much can be done about that.

Because Bridgeport had/has them.....upstream from them.
It is logical based on their reproductive cycle/how they reproduce.

I'm going w/no "fisherman error" on this one since they were confirmed upstream way before. Seems most logical. Now don't ask me how they got in Bridgeport! :-)

I'm sure every lake that flooded or has water from a another lakes spillway will soon have them.

I asked a game warden why they were doing this to boaters since there was no way to control the water coming from lakes upstream that had zebra mussels and that was the main source of contamination due to the flooding. He said it was something they could control. I told him that was a pretty sad answer.

If I ain't fishing, I ain't happy.
But mostly I'm happy.
I love being retired, the check is in the mail.
