Been dealing with this forever, but no big deal. Just cut a small slit in the filet and pinch them out. Also look out for one's that have died and are darker in color and have the consistency of a piece of gravel. This is very rare. Hold your filet up to the light before storing it or processing it for dinner. Have not encountered these from fish in Diascund res. if it's a problem for you. Best of luck when you come to VA.

Barnacle,
I hear you ! They don't hurt anything, especially if you remove them before your wife sees them. If Cheryl knew that little red worm was a parasite she wouldn't eat fish again - lol
If we do manage to get down there maybe we could meet up with some of you ? Can fish, or have dinner and swap some fish stories ? I dont know if/when exactly we can get down, but I love fishing that area. You fellows have some very nice crappie fishing down there.
Our very best lakes up here would be "just another lake" down your way.

I have run into this in the past in San Diego, I contacted fish and game about it, I was told it was harmless as said above, and to ensure fish was thoroughly cooked.

I have only encountered the worms from tidal river crappie, not from lake or reservoir fish. Like wood duck said above, hold the filet up to light and use the tip of your knife to pry them out.
