....more TICKS !! 4/30/17:

[AndyS]

I was banging around this mornin' before I went down river, made a stop on the North Branch at Rt. 202. talked to a fly guy who was pounding the stockies !! Seen some trash and walked off the gravel area into the grassy leaf area. Walked out and looked down, my sweatpants were moving !! Picked off no less than 6 ticks !! Each one I pinched, put on the ground and hit them with my lighter until they popped. These were the big "dog" ticks I call them, clumsy and easily spotted. It's those tiny tiny tiny deer ticks that REALLY scheeve me out !
(ticks don't seem to stick to my waders though)
