Re: Slippery Suckers
I do have to say that I am glad that we don't really have to worry about those things here in Washington. The ticks on the eastside of the state are bad enough!

Re: Slippery Suckers
We also have leeches, and they just look like yours.
It was just after I had moved into this area more than 20 years ago. Once on a rainy September day, I walked through a long bushy trail to go back to the car after fishing. The hike was rather long, so I had changed waders to hiking shoes. When I got to the car, my white socks looked bright red; they were stained with my blood. There were tens of leeches on my legs or in the socks. :x
After that, I became very careful about my clothing.
By the way, the fish IS beautiful! I like those clear large spots on the body.

gigharborflyfisher,
My better half wishes they weren't here in Australia. Bull ants & jack jumpers she can handle, snakes, well she tends scream out in panic at the site of a snake or lizard. :o
For me, I'm a bit squemish of big hairy legged spiders....trouble is, being the man of the house, the job of hairy legged spider remover, seem to fall squarely on my shoulders... :shock:
Satoshi,
Yes, they're very stealthy creatures, you just don't know there attached until you see the trail of blood or feel their coolness under your sock.
I know I shouldn't scratch their itchy bites.....but I can't help it. :roll:
