Gill Lice

[Hawghunter93]

Hello everyone I am new to this forum and I have a quick question for all of you steelhead anglers. I spent 5 days this week targeting steelhead on lake Ontario tributaries and we happened to notice that at least 50% of the fish that we caught had gill lice. Has anyone noticed a major increase in this problem this year? how much damage can this do to a fish.. all of the fish that appeared to be affected seemed to take much longer to revive than usual. Thanks!

Search other threads. Was a big problem this past season.

The issue has gotten a lot of attention. I'm surprised you haven't heard about it prior.

I've heard about it but never really looked into it too in depth because I've never encountered it to this extent. Still fairly new to fishing lake Ontario, I've never see one affected fish anywhere on lake Huron.

Listen, pap-smear. I wasn't trying to be a dick, I'm just saying there is already a lot of info on the topic. My knowledge on the topic is limited but I did read some interesting stuff in other threads. So, I thought it was a valid suggestion. Geeze ol'geez... er
