Remember that you can help prevent the spread of unwanted aquatic plant and animal species by following these guidelines:

• Remove all mud and aquatic plants from all gear, boats, motors and trailers before departing from your fishing location
• Drain all water including bilges, live wells, and bait tanks before departing from your fishing location
• Do not transport fish from one body of water to another
• Do not release unused bait into a body of water
• Do not dispose of fish carcasses or by-products in any body of water
