Just remember guys, It is always easer to lose something then to get it back. Once they close a lake. Good luck getting it back. There are those people out there who do not like us catching fish or being on the lakes. I am sure there are people like that behind the push of all this. They don't like us anyway and have lots of money to back them and push it. This is a open door for them to walk in and shut it on us and THEY WILL, They Have (money talks). If they were all fisherman it would not have happened at all. Other then that it will take more work and new jobs to keep them under control it seems (if needed). It sounds like lakes are doing far better with mussels in them so far. As for negative impact on a lake, not seeing that yet. The only thing impacted so far is US, we that use the lakes. My lakes are not closed around me but it sure makes me MAD that my friends lakes are. To close all lakes for any time would be the end. Then you would have a vigilante mussel placement I bet.
