VERY interesting! Makes me wonder if an approach to dealing with them on the Finger Lakes tribs could involve using a temporary impassible barrier just as they are about to spawn concentrating them in an area and then harvesting them before or as they spawn in addition to the present method of chemical treatments with lampricides for the amoecetes to try and devastate the future populations.

First time out this year, caught a big brown with one on it, that was the first time I caught a fish with one on it. I killed it and released the fish free of it.
