AIS at Bullfrog
We spent a week on LP in mid March. As stated above, the inspection station (inspection only required when leaving, not when entering) is across the road from the corner store. The lake was down a few feet and every rock from Trachyte to the Rincon had many mussels attached. We were inspected upon leaving, primarily it seems to confirm we had pulled the drained plug and dropped both outboards to drain. They did a visual inspection of likely attachment spots on the hull, lower units and live wells, and seemed to pay particular attention when we reported we had been camping continuously on the boat the previous 4 nights. The anchor rode and bow line were both wet and the inspector suggested drying them on the driveway when we returned home. They will NOT perform a decontamination unless you are from Utah. I asked for a decontamination since we were likely to launch next at Blue Mesa, which is fortunately still clean, but since we are from Colorado they simply attached a wire seal and wished us a safe trip home. It all seems a little short sighted to me but I suppose every state is trying to cut costs. This has been the policy for the last year or two and while I always ask for a decon they always politely decline. Good luck on your visit.
