THat's a great shot. Labs are the best. He/she looks like she is enjoying the stream.

Where is that? I'm thinking smallmouth.

Wonder if anything will be heard back on this-amendment ordering Pentagon to review whether U.S. experimented with weaponizing ticks
What were the parameters of the program?
Who ordered it?
Was there ever any accidental release anywhere or at any time of any diseased ticks?
Were any ticks released by design?
Did the program contribute to the disease burden?
Could any of this information help current-day researchers find a way to mitigate these diseases?
The theory, which sounds like something straight out of a science fiction novel, contends that bioweapon specialists packed ticks with pathogens that could cause severe disabilities, disease and death among potential enemies to the homeland.
