the brown/orange sea lice that we so often see on SB in new england are NOT only found in deep coild water. Tbhe color of the fish is a much better indicator of being "fresh". Sea Lice are found in rivers, estuaries, and anywhere there is a soft muddy bottom. Sorry guys, this is one of my pet peaves and I tell everyone. a few years ago while fishing the SACO river in Maine, we were fishing near Pine Point and when we came out of the river our waders were covered in the EXACT same lice as we commonly see on SB. Ever since then I have become a bit of a Lice Nerd, learning and payiong attention to this condition.
