Attention: The Spiny Water Flea has made it to Lake Champlain

[Lavman]

Here is a link to bring you to some important reading about this invasive species: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bythotrephes_longimanus

This invasive will have a very negative impact on the perch fishery and other species in Lake Champlain.

We need to get the word out to everyone so we can avoid spreading these things from Lake Champlain to our other inland waterways.

After fishing Lake Champlain and heading to another body of water you need to thoroughly clean your gear and dry it out.

Pass this along to anyone you know that uses Lake Champlain because their boats and gear can spread this invasive.

There's a really good article in this month's North Ave News (a Burlington paper).
