{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Watch out for ticks

I almost posted a similar warning the other day. At work the other day, my coworker and I had to locate a stormwater pipe about 200 yards back a brushy utility right-of-way. We were there for all of ten minutes, both wearing "tick-proof" pants, and I think each of us got swarmed by 20-30 ticks. A few made it past the initial shakedown and I found 4 on my legs after I got home.

For perspective, I've worn that pair of tick-proof pants probably once a week for two years, either for fishing or working, and that was the first time I've ever found a single tick on me while wearing them. So yeah, they're bad right now.
