The Center for Aquatic Nuisance Species in Livingston, MT is dedicated to promoting clean angling practices and preventing the spread of invasive species. They encourage anglers to take the Clean Angling Pledge, which involves cleaning, draining, and drying gear after every use to stop the spread of harmful species that can degrade aquatic habitats and harm native fisheries.
The center provides resources and tips on how to properly clean gear, including boots and waders, and emphasizes the importance of inspecting and cleaning equipment before leaving the site. They also offer guidance on safe cleaning locations, such as using a garden hose on a lawn or utilizing a car wash that enters a municipal waste system. By following their simple steps, anglers can help protect the health of our waterways and preserve native fish populations.
