As disapointed as I am by this, I realize now what I had always thought when fishing the American...it was only a matter of time before they showed up.
This truly is a very disapointing and alarming setback, not simply because they appeared on the American (that was simply a matter of when and where), but because the American is an urbanized and heavily utilized river with a HUGE potential to spread these guys elsewhere. Now, not only do we have to worry about anglers moving these things, but we also have to think about swimmers, boaters, dogs, birdlife, ect as serious potential vectors for displacement. Once these guys move to more populated rivers, such as the American, I think the battle is essentially lost. They were once restricted to somewhat isolated trout streams, with limited traffic...but now....who knows?
