[font "Poor Richard"][green][size 3]New Zealand Mud Snails Potamopyrgus antipodarum are threatening Western fisheries. These tiny, 1/8” snails reproduce rapidly, survive in harsh conditions and have an impact on aquatic insects and trout. The spread may be caused in part by snails “hitchhiking” on anglers.[/size][/green][/font]
[font "Poor Richard"][green][size 3]Take the following precautions to make sure that you do not spread New Zealand mud snails:
Rinse mud and debris from waders and gear after use.
Use a hot water bath (120 degrees) for several minutes.
Let equipment dry several days between uses.
Dry heat will kill them.[/size][/green][/font]
