Didymo...
Spread the word, not the algae.
Didymo is an invasive freshwater algae that can form massive blooms and cover entire river bottoms. It thrives in cold, clear, shallow water and is currently found in at least four Virginia trout rivers: Smith, Jackson, Pound, and Dan rivers below dams.
Four steps anglers can take to help prevent the spread of didymo:
- CHECK: Before leaving the river, look for strands of algae on your equipment. Remove the strands and leave them on-site.
- CLEAN: Soak and scrub all gear for at least one minute in a 2% solution of household bleach. Make sure that all surfaces of your equipment are thoroughly treated.
- DRY: If cleaning is not practical, dry equipment in the sun for at least 48 hours before using in another stream.
- LEAVE: Fish, plants, and vegetation should not be moved between streams.
