Lice covered Stripers

[MikeF]

Hey Mike,
What's with this 'feathery' stuff. We got to get you into this long wand stuff. You'd be surprised what you can dredge up on a fly. The eelslingers and sandeel dunkers around me last night were!!

I'm not sure what, if anything, the presence or absence of sea lice means. I've caught stripers in 100' of water that had no sea lice but were a dark color. I've also caught bass on the flats that were covered with them. Their blond appearance was some indication that they had been in the shallows a while.
