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.

Exactly, where ever you find the bad smelling mud that one would quahog in is loaded with the lice. I see them all the time when hand digging.
