Zebra Mussels on Pomme
For those of use who fish Pomme de Terre lake and others. The Missouri Department of Conservation has confirmed the presence of zebra mussel veligers (babies) on Pomme de Terre Lake. Samples taken in 3 locations (nemo bridge, P-6, and in front of dam) have all come back with high concentrations of veligers or the microscopic spawn of the zebra mussels. So far they haven't found the adults but obviously they are around. The concentrations are not as high as LOZ but high enough. Samples from Stockton were clean, and Truman was clean on two tests and inconclusive on the third (they will be re-testing). However if they are in Pomme they are in Truman. It was only a matter of time but hoped it would take longer. Lots of folks fish both Pomme and Stockton and I'm sure everyone has seen the signs at boat ramps etc. No one really knows what the impacts will be at Pomme but we will find out I guess.
