Zebra Mussels

Adult Zebra Mussels were found 7/31/08 at Lake Afton.

The zebra mussels reproduce during the warmer summer months and veligers (larval zebra mussels) are present in the water column. Zebra mussel veligers are too small to be seen with the unaided eye and they can be found in boat livewells, minnow buckets, boat bilges, water toys and anything else that is capable of holding even a small amount of water.

Be sure to drain all equipment before leaving the lake to avoid moving veligers to other waters. THIS INCLUDES MINNOW BUCKETS, BOAT LIVEWELLS AND BILGES!!!

REMEMBER!! Zebra Mussels are also present in Clearwater Creek below the spillway!

August 28, 2011- My name is Tabitha Moore I'm writing to tell you about the fish my husband Clarence Moore caught at the Dillon's lake or pond at Central & Maize. He caught 1.5-2.5 lbs. channel catfish. We noticed you didn't have anything listed under the Dillon's lake so I thought I would send you a quick message. You have a great website, so full of great info...keep up the great work. You will definitely hear from us again. We learned a lot about fishing spots around Wichita that we didn't even know were there. Thanks again.

You might note in your report for Wichita Cruiser Lake that the directions on the KDWP website are obsolete - you can no longer access the lake from 21st Street, and may be charged with trespassing if you try (even though the signs won't tell you that). Take Hillside and turn west on the first street south of K-96, past the new animal shelter - this will run you right into the parking lot for Cruiser Lake.
