wonder if this will catch on in other states!?

Although felt soles are thought to spread didymo, I think such a ban
will be in vain. *Shoe laces, boats, even fishing lines can spread it
from what I've heard, to say nothing of natural causes (birds and
animals). *I've been on a few rivers that have bleach stations for use
by anglers. *All of these efforts will help, no doubt, but I think they
will not stop it. *A solution to kill it in the stream is surely needed..

I shudder to think of it getting in the streams out West, Alaska, and
my beloved Maine waters. *I have bought a new set of waders and boots
and will dedicate them exclusively to the Rapid River. *Maine waters
are surrounded by it; Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and
Canada's Maritime Provinces are all infected with it. *The bleach
stations I mentioned will help *if they are used*. *Trouble is I have
seen anglers ignore them.

Good stuff....um.....except for two things.

1. No, bleaching will not help at all.

2. No, Maine is not in the west.....well, unless you live in maybe the
Azores or something.

I have witnessed illegal stocking of predator fish in trophy brook
trout waters by some yahoo.

Brook trout are salmonids. They are predators.

I suspect there are other yahoos who
wouldn't care if they infected water with this latest danger.

Correct. They'll go to Kamchatka, Easter Island, the Turks and Cacos,
Curdistan.....whereverthe****. They don't care.

moron.
