This past year while I was fishing the Stanislaus River and after I was finished struck up a conversation with some other anglers and they started talking about going to another river. I asked them if they knew that they needed to treat their wading equipment due to the Mud Snails and they responded that they were unaware that the Stanislaus had them. They thanked me for letting them know. I did some further research and found this reference, thought it would be a good for everyone.
(PS I keep this on my phone as a note to reference before I fish)
Infected areas:
- Eastern Sierras
Hot Creek
Owens River
Rush Creek
Lone Pine Creek
- Western Sierras
Calaveras River
Stanislaus River
Mokelumne River
Lower American River
Shasta Lake
- Valley
Putah Creek
Napa River
Piru Creek
Alameda Creek
Hayward Creek
San Lorenzo River
Antioch Creek
Baxter Creek
Major Rivers
Truckee River
Russian River
Klamath River
Smith River
(Since they are in Shasta Lake and Lower American and Putah I would assume
The lower Sacramento River also has them but it is not listed.)
Humboldt
Big Lagoon
Lake Earl
Lake Talawa
