The class will run from 9 a.m. to noon at the Wahweap Lodge.
Training will include a brief history of mussel infestation in the U.S., with an update on the spread of invasive mussels in the West during 2007.
Instruction on mussel identification, enforcement and prevention procedures to stop the spread of invasive species will be given. Bill Zook from the Columbia River and Wen Baldwin from Lake Mead will be chief instructors, along with Mark Anderson from the National Park Service.
A demonstration of boat-washing procedures will be featured from noon to 1 p.m. at the Wahweap decontamination station.
Attendees may include all who work in water-based recreational industry, agency and enforcement officials responsible to check the spread of aquatic invasive species and mussels, biologists and other officials working with aquatic resources, business entities working with boats, and all others interested in stopping the spread of mussels.
On March 18, a panel of top Utah anglers will tell how they catch walleye at Starvation or Yuba reservoirs.
The clinics are free and are part of the 16th Annual Utah Walleye Seminar. The clinics will run from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Department of Natural Resources auditorium, 1594 W. North Temple in Salt Lake City.
The seminar is sponsored by Rocky Mountain Anglers and the DWR.
"All of the panel members have extensive experience fishing for walleye in Utah and surrounding states," said Ray Schelble with Rocky Mountain Anglers.
"You'll learn about the best times of year to fish for walleye and the best waters to catch them at," he says. "You'll also receive information about hot lures and techniques, including trolling, spinner rigs, jigs, crankbaits and live baits."
