Aquatic Invasive Species/ Clean Angling Science Vote Up Down +71 + NZMS.jpg New Zealand Mudsnails were recently discovered in Spring Creek, one of PA's finest limestone creeks. http://fishandboat.com/newsreleases/2013press/new-zealand-mudsnail.htm NZMS infestations can grow to densities of as many as 400,000 per square meter, and at these concentrations, they cause major disruption in the stream ecology and seriously impact the aquatic insect community. The NZMS is one critter that we KNOW is carried around on the waders and boots of anglers. Help reduce the risk of the introduction and spread of NZMS and other aquatic invasive species by utlizing the Clean Angling Practices to Inspect, Clean, and Dry your fishing equipment and DO NOT move fish, fish parts, plants, or water between drainages!
