Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Watch out for ticks

It is no joke. You're right. My sister has Lyme's.

Living out in California I never had to worry about this.  Northern VA is the epicenter of deer ticks....I hate slathering myself with chemicals but now I spray DEET on my legs and spray Permethrin on my boots and shorts.  And don't forget to stay up on Doggos flea pills and give him a summer buzzcut.  I have a friend who has Lyme's disease and it's no joke.

Yeah...the creepy/crawly things.

My meeting finished early yesterday down in the Dahlgren Virginia area yesterday so decided to get some flies wet.  Parked in the shade of a small lake and as I put on my gear and built up my 4-piece rod, looked down at my feet and there was an army of deer ticks crawling up my legs. 

Got them off then walked out in the more direct sunlight and fished for the next few hours without seeing anymore.

Back at my truck getting ready to leave, taking off my gear/breaking down the rod....the horde of ticks were making their reattack on me with vengeance.  Seems they were in the shaded areas and just swarming in the grass. 

Keep an eye out. 

Cheers

Collin
