First we (Colorado) had Whirling Disease, now this Snail. I will mix up a batch of 50/50 409 cleaner to keep in the car but wonder if there are other rivers having similar problems? What do you think about the 409? I don't want to spray 409 on my neoprenes, and I switch locations more than once a day, so freezing isn't good. And heating above 150 degrees I wouldn't think is good for waders.

What do you think??

"Please, if you're visiting our river or have fished in another watershed in Colorado, PLEASE clean your wading shoes in a 50/50 mix of 409 and water or freeze them over night before getting in the river. We are trying to protect the river from the New Zealand Mud Snail. This animal has the potential of creating an ecological disaster far worse than Whirling Disease ever could have been. We appreciate your cooperation to save our river."
