Thanks!


Hang in there I'll post some pics tonight when I have time. Sounds like parasites to me. Nothing to really worry about. They are usually transient this time of year. I have some skin parasites show up in one of my ponds on some of my bluegill during spawning season when they are stressed. After spawning season the fish look fine with no signs.

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
