The South Dakota Game Fish & Parks Commission finalized new rules to help slow the spread of aquatic invasive species (AIS). Several (AIS) are currently established in South Dakota or bordering states. While alarming, these threats are currently at relatively low levels, which provides us with an opportunity to prevent their spread. While environmental and economic impacts from Zebra Mussels, Eurasian Watermilfoil, Asian Carp, and Curly Pond Weed, among others, are being felt across the country, with your help we can limit their access to Pickerel Lake. The Pickerel Lake Conservancy will be launching an AIS Initiative for Pickerel Lake this summer in conjunction with GF&P resources. The AIS link will help you and guests become familiar with the new rules.
