It’s an ugly subject, but all of us can help stop the Eurasian watermilfoil weed from strangling Lake Tahoe.
Check your boat and trailers before launching, and do this:
- Run your prop in reverse to knock off plants parts.
- Remove all plant parts from boat and trailer and dispose of away from the water.
- Drain livewells, bilge water, ballast tanks, and transom wells at the launch ramp before leaving a waterbody.
- Empty bait buckets on land, not into the water.
- Wash watercraft with high pressure hose at 140 degrees
- Wash fishing equipment prior to use in another waterbody.
