First fleas. Rochester - Braddocks today.

yep, they're showing up.  Suggest when you're reeling in and lure is about 30-35 ft from boat, lower your rod tip into the water and zip it upward as fast as you can.  Usually cuts the majority of them off.  (Not suggested to slap the water with the rod....unless you want a broken rod)

Tom, I tried this on Friday and it worked very well. Thanks for the suggestion. Better than peeling them off with your fingers.

Works well with the Spiny Fleas but the Fishhook type are harder to remove and seem somewhat like stinky cottenwood:lol:

FWIW:  Those pictured are Spiny.  Spiny's are generally bigger that Fishhook and often have a black spot on their bodies.  They say the Spiny moves in the water column according to day & night whereas the Fishhook are surface oriented throughout.  Fishhook may have a reddish streak.
