You are right they are small worm like bugs that are on the out side of the fish only so they are still fine to eat. If you catch a fish with them on it and keep it they fall off real fast after the fish is out of the water.

I have heard that lice is a good sign of a healthy fish.

I have taken fish with them, they ususally fall off pretty quick.

So I would not worry about it.

A fish with sea lice this time of year means that it just migrated here. If your catching fish without sea lice that most likely means it's a hold-over, or resident fish. You will be finding fish with sea lice all through may and into early June. When the temps warm up a bit, the lice will drop off.
