Quagga Mussel Prevention

We do not allow live freshwater bait, including shiners, crawdads, etc. To prevent the further spread of Quagga Mussels, Sweetwater Authority has banned the use of live bait from freshwater sources at Loveland and Sweetwater Reservoirs. The ban does not apply to mealworms, redworms, crickets, etc.

Quagga mussels have made their way to California, and if they continue to spread throughout the state's water supply, they could result in an environmental and economic disaster.
