noob question

[cool][#0000ff]I too USUALLY wear waders, but ALWAYS wear waders when fishing waters known to harbor the swimmers' itch bug. [/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]I DID experience swimmers itch, but not through a lapse in waderology. I took some water over the back of my waders while tubing Pelican Lake (poor quality waders back in the olden days). I got that "itchy twitchy feelin'" along the back surface of my lower extremities.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]The main idea is that it usually occurs in weedy lakes with a population of host snails and lots of aquatic birdlife. We are a lot less likely to find it in barren bottom reservoirs.[/#0000ff]
