On gills or all over?

Yes, WDFW know about. They said it ok, just them cutoff with meat and cook thoroughly.

 

[kukusya]

But I wouldn't do it, so don't waste your time going there.

My ex wife must be living there.

Hmmm, I'll take two scoops of Chernobyl and some wiggly worm covered fish to go please...

That's just the King County parasites moving East.

It's Seattle dying and the earthquake.
The earthquake was the sinkhole shifting to the correct coordinates, under Fergies office.

Anchor Worms....?

Parasites of Freshwater Fish | Minnesota Sea Grant
ANCHORWORM (Lernaea spp.) copepod Red pustule on or near base of fins; thread-like body may protrude from wound 1/8 to 1 inch; buries anchor-shaped head into fish. Body protrudes; inflamed pustule may form. Parasite may drop off, leaving inflamed area. Yes Cut out inflamed area; clean fish and prepare as usual

When I lived in the Salt Lake Valley there were some reservoirs we fished that had anchor worms in the trout once the water warmed in early summer/summer. As I remember it had something to do the feeder streams wound through cattle pastures. Didn't hurt anything according to F&G, looked awful, and I never really fished those waters.



Probably not a big deal, if you wanted to pick 'em out?

Now THIS.....

Well, the one above of a German Brown (not to be confused with the brown, corn studded, trout of the Willamette during rainy months) was feeding heavily and the fly fisherman musta' squoze him some.

 

[Caveman Jim]

Yeah the same kind of nastiness happens on Summit Lake too, they are said to be "OK to eat" but I just couldn't do it.....
I fished elsewhere after that.
