[cool][#0000ff]The worms are "anchor worms". They are a skin parasite that seems to affect mostly rainbows and mostly during warm water conditions. They disappear when the water gets colder. They are harmless but look nasty. In the olden days, when there were planted rainbows in Pineview, they usually got anchor worms in the warm waters of summer. We called them "pizza-side" bows.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Glad you are properly releasing those precious carpinskis. Glad also to hear that the minnows are finally putting in an appearance. I was wondering if the perch had munched them all. The rainbows and pike will be right behind them...with the perch in between.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]By the way, if you keep those perch alive, they make great aquarium pets...just like the fathead minnows. Whoops. I guess I shouldn't have said that. That particular subject started a whole buncha stuff last year. Delete...delete.[/#0000ff]
