A Fish, Wildlife and Parks aquatic species monitoring crew has confirmed the discovery of invasive faucet snails in Lake Frances near Valier.
Faucet snails can host several exotic parasites that cause waterfowl to die when ingested.
FWP first learned of the snail from a fisherman trolling on Lake Frances in May. He picked up two clams and a snail on some vegetation and submitted the samples to FWP for identification. The clams were determined to be native pea clams, while the snail was identified as a faucet snail.
People who use Lake Frances are asked to always clean, drain, and dry watercraft and fishing gear.
Faucet snails have been detected in Smith Lake, Rattlesnake Reservoir, Upsata Lake, Flathead Lake, and McWennegar Slough. The snails have also caused several die-offs of American coots on Georgetown Lake since 2006.
Lake Frances is privately owned by the Pondera County Canal and Reservoir Company and is used to store and deliver irrigation water to its members from Dupuyer to Conrad.
