FWP Will Drain a Popular Montana Lake

FWP Will Drain a Popular Montana Lake Let s face it. Nobody wants to deal with Corbicula fluminea. Are you with me on this, people? Yeah, I didn t know what the scientific term was, either. But with so much heightened awareness concerning Aquatic Invasive Species in Montana, Fish, Wildlife and Parks has made the decision to pull the plug, so to speak, on a popular reservoir in eastern Montana. After much discussion and recommendations, Montana FWP has made the decision to address invasive Asian clams in Lake Elmo, a very popular and heavily-used reservoir within the Billings city limits. FWP will drain the lake this coming September, which will hopefully allow the clams to dry out and freeze during the winter of 2021-22.

FWP sets date to drain Lake Elmo By: Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks press release Posted at 1:18 PM, Dec 31, 2020 and last updated 2021-01-01 11:40:28-05 BILLINGS - Plans to drain Lake Elmo in Billings Heights to eradicate invasive Asian clams will move ahead after Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks finished an environmental review of the proposal this week. The drawdown to address invasive clams will also help other efforts. The project includes plans for new fish habitat, angler access and state park improvements while the lake is dry. The plan calls for FWP to drain the lake starting in September 2021. The invasive clams would dry up, starve and freeze dead during the winter.
