Anglers and Boaters: You are an important partner in preventing the spread of fish diseases and other aquatic nuisance species

Anglers and boaters can take some easy steps to prevent the spread of fish diseases and other aquatic nuisance species such as zebra mussels by taking the following steps to help prevent the spread of the virus:

Clean boats, trailers, and other equipment thoroughly between fishing trips to keep from transporting undesirable fish pathogens and organisms, from one water body to another with special care to clean fishing equipment when you are done fishing known locations of the fish diseases. A light bleach solution is an excellent disinfectant for cleaning your equipment.
After cleaning allow boats, trailers, and other equipment to fully dry for 4 to 6 hours in the sun.
Do not move fish or fish parts from one body of water to another.
Do not release live bait into any water body.
Handle fish as gently as possible if you intend to release them and release them as quickly as possible.
Refrain from hauling the fish for long periods in live wells if you intend to release them.
Report unusual numbers of dead or dying fish to Michigan Department of Natural Resources Fisheries Division offices.
Educate other anglers about the measure they can take to prevent the spread of fish diseases and other aquatic nuisance species.
