Do you think the new DNR musical campaign to fight VHS and aquatic invasives will be effective?
MADISON – Wisconsin anglers and boaters will get music with a message as the University of Wisconsin-Madison launches a trio of rock, rockabilly and folk songs about preventing VHS fish disease, zebra mussels, and other aquatic invasive species from spreading to new lakes and rivers.
Recordings of the songs are available on the UW-Extension Web site at: [www.uwex.edu/erc/music] (exit DNR).
The song “One Bait, One Lake” (exit DNR) aims to help alert anglers that moving live fish from one water to another can spread the fish disease VHS.
