| Zebra Mussels Are Present in Chase State Fishing Lake. | Chase SFL is an ANS designated water. Zebra mussel veligers (larval zebra mussels) are too small to be seen with the unaided eye and they can be found in boat livewells, minnow buckets, boat bilges, and anything else that is capable of holding even a small amount of water.
