Episode Details

Idaho’s battle against invasive quagga mussels just got smarter—this year, officials are targeting only two deep pools in the Snake River near Twin Falls, leaving more of the river open for recreation while still protecting the ecosystem. The Twin Falls boat ramp is closed now but set to reopen September 5th, while Shoshone Falls will shut down briefly for treatment starting September 6th. Though some anglers like Joe Cain say fishing’s been tougher lately, they understand the need for targeted action. With mussel numbers down, the state can now use copper treatments more precisely, sparing other areas and keeping popular spots like Centennial (for kayaking and paddleboarding) accessible—just not for swimming during treatments.
