Water Lice

[Out-cast]

I was out last weekend on lake O and I am having a problem getting my lines in with all the water lice ,(I do believe that is what it is). We run mono and braid , both load up . the only thing it doesn't stick to is our leadcore. is there something  I can do to help with this

They're spiny water fleas and give up running braid.  You need at least 30# mono or flea flicker line and wire for your dipseys.  30# mono wasn't even cutting it for me on my last trip.

Even 30 wouldn't do it last weekend.

The best you can do is re-rig with 40lb mono for the heavy flea times they have a hard time clinging to line that thick.  I had a lot of problems yesterday with all my lines.  Just a fact of life now they suck real bad.  When you get a big build up, when your line is tight pull the line back like your pulling a bow string and let it go and most of them will fly off.  It really is tough at times when your trying to real in a fish.
