Crowley Lake Boat Inspection Warning

The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power has issued an alert for all boats entering Crowley Lake.  All boats will be thoroughly inspected to help prevent the spread of invasive mussels that can impact the fisher and damage boats and water systems. Boats showing signs of contamination with invasive mussels, or found to contain any water or debris that could harbor mussels will not be allowed to launch into Crowley Lake.  Boat inspections will be done at the Crowley Lake South Landing and in Bishop for the fishing season opening.

DON’T MOVE A MUSSEL! Help stop the spread of invasive mussels. Inspect boats and trailers thoroughly and remove any trash, mussels or aquatic weeds. Drain water from the motor, live-well, bilge and transom wells.  Wash boats, trailers and equipment with a pressurized power sprayer and hot water. Rinse live -wells, bilge and cooling systems with hot water.

Dry boats, motors, trailers and equipment in the hot sun for at least two weeks before using them again.  Look for mussels on your vehicle rear end, trailer hitch, rollers, anchor, dock lines, hull, axle, live wells, bilge and motor.
