Had a great day fishing Sagehen today, 30+ fish day - most in the 10-12 inch range, but several in the 14-16 in range as well. The proverbial low water shooting fish in a barrel day, but still a lot of fun. A lot of the fish in the 10-12 range seemed to have some parasite that was just below the skin causing pimple like eruptions. I released all my fish, but some bank fishermen were taking their limits home. Just curious if anyone knows what the parasite is and is it harmful to the fish consumer? The picture with the fish against my waders was the best I could get of the skin eruptions.
