Fishing for Quagga mussel

Dreissena bugensis

The quagga mussel is a tiny freshwater mussel resembling the zebra mussel but rounder, with a paler, more variable banded shell and no flat underside, so it topples when set down. Also a Ponto-Caspian invader, it colonizes both shallow and deep bottoms of North American lakes and rivers. The shell reaches only about 1.5 inches. It attaches in dense clusters.
