I've had minnows and small sunfish peck at a mole, freckles and probably hair on my legs while wading wet, so why not ticks.  Only problem is you'd have to embed the hook in your leg.

I don't think you need to add that to be fly-tying related!  Ticks are a problem that come from us testing our fly-tying creations on the water!  heehee

I could ask this though - does anybody have a pattern for ticks?  Do fish (trout/bass/panfish) ever eat them?

Use an ordinary drinking straw and place it at a 45
degree angle over the tick (the straw is simply being
used as a guide to direct the knot). Next, take a
length of thread and tie a loose knot at the top or
midsection of the straw. Now, slide your knot down the
straw to the site. Position the knot underneath the
tick's belly, so that the knot will encircle the
embedded part only. Slowly tighten the knot to close
snugly around the jaws. Now, remove the straw and pull
the thread in a steady upward motion. This will cause
the tick to detach, without regurgitation.
