Muskieman Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 Good to know.... I wonder if Temagami will still be safe for the long weekend? Don't count on it.... They were fierce here last night and are out this morning too... Temagami is just 50 minutes north of here... Being a blood donor is a small price to pay for a weekend of fishing.

ctranter Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 Ughh putting the dock in with swarms of blackflies always gives me a nightmare, at least you get SOME relief out on the water with a little breeze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4x4bassin Posted May 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 I found that when the sun was out they were deadly and when it was cloudy not so bad . So this is the only time I am wishing for a cool/light drizzle and a bit of wind for my lake trout trip next weekend. I do agree that if it is sunny and warm next week they will be at there peak by the long weekend ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

discophish Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 Ugg - you had to say the "B" word ...didn't you! And sourced from Parry Sound ... g-r-e-a-t. I was up last weekend and there were a couple around already at that time, the odd one or two. Come next weekend I'm wearing my space suit with an O2 tank and all. Houston ... we've got a problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rizzo Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 yup, its that time of year when you drink a "filtered" beer...filtered by the bug net that's over your head. It works great drinking straight through the screen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishfield Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 John.. they always come out Friday at noon for the long weekend. You can see them in a swarm, helping the PPark warden unlocking the gate to the campground! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigdritchie Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 With all the rain we've had this spring (and will continue to get over the weekend) it's going to be a really bad year for the little vampires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
