I also forgot to mention that I found it interesting that at both the public and cabin owners’ boat ramps they have a sign posted about how to help stop invasive species from coming to our waters. I find it interesting because a sign is posted there (which is a great sign and a better idea), but not at places like Johnson, Elwood, or other canal lakes (that I’ve seen, anyway). I’ll try to pay more attention when I visit these other places next.
I do believe that when these species get here, they’ll come from the west. Just makes sense. Unfortunately, I do also believe it’s only a matter of time. Doesn’t mean I’ll stop doing my part, but I do think it’s inevitable.
