Boat check station

Ag check ? Had a load of hay entering ca, they opened doors and inspected that, had some seed from another state that required some attention otherwise it's a weigh station, and or a bol check.

I don't stop at water craft check points with out any watercrafts unless instructed to do so, which hasn't happened to date.

 

As previously stated, "ALL", that means any and every.

 

I guess I would ignore that sign if I had a boat on a trailer because watercraft don't normally drive on the roads except for a couple that I can think of.

So the last time I saw a watercraft driving down the road it was this -



And I owned on of these a long time ago and that would qualify -



But outside of that, I would just ignore the sign because it makes no sense at all.

 

Crustaceans and weeds too

 

they're labeled Invasive Species

 

There looking for zebra mussels that grow fast and in large numbers and can destroy the echo system of a water way quickly.
If they find them on your boat they usally give you a free power wash of the boat and send you on your way.

 

There's no charge for the inspection they're just making sure you're not bringing something on a boat that not supposed to be there if you blow by one of those boat check places with a boat regardless if it's brand new or 500 years old you better stop they will run you down on a new boat it's real easy they just look at it take a the form put the ID on it and Away you go 5 minutes

 

New boats are absolutely required to stop.

 

Zebra mussels, quagga mussels, New Zealand Mud Snails and Eurasian milfoil, just to name a few. Lots of creepy-crawlies and hangers-on on boats and fishing equipment.

Don't forget to clean and dry your waders, either. Alberta just got hit by Whirling disease in trout, most likely introduced through a fishermen with an infected tubifex worm on the equipment.

Just stop, clean and dry the equipment, please? We don't want some of the critters other states have to deal with.
