[cool][#0000ff]The "yellow grubs" formerly found in a high percentage of bluegills and bass from Pelican have dropped way off. Very few fish have them now, and those that do seldom have more than a few. They are a harmless flesh parasite that look unappetizing but will not infest humans...especially after cooking. If you don't like them they are easily removed with the point of a knife.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]These parasites are in fish as a part of a cycle. That cycle is also dependent upon birds or snails and if there is a change in the overall ecology of a lake it can increase or decrease the amount of the parasites that find their way into the fish. [/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Most Pelican "regulars" have commented that they have seen a lot less of the little nasties in the past two years.[/#0000ff]
