White Bear Lake, MN– During this year’s National Fishing & Boating Week, millions of Americans will spend time on the water. Whether reeling bass, paddling in kayaks, or pulling the kids on the tube, it’s important to Clean Drain and Dry all equipment, boats, and gear to prevent the spread of invasive species.
Last year, the recreational fishing industry generated over $129 billion dollars to the U.S. economy while recreational boating contributed $27.3 billion dollars.
