Basskicker Posted May 24, 2007 Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 Well the time has finally arrived for my annual spring pike trip. All packed and leaving in the morning for north of Cochrane for 9 days to catch some pics and pikes. Hopefully have some big fish for Team #7..... Does anyone know if the black flies and mosquitos are BAD up that way yet? Thanks Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbuck Posted May 24, 2007 Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 Take a bath in Muskol and you should be golden. Good fishing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowshep Posted May 24, 2007 Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 9 days, you better gain 10 lbs because you will lose it in flesh, My Dad says the black flys are bigger than normal and that the mosquitos are hunting in packs lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Bob Posted May 24, 2007 Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 I will also be leaving in the morning for the West Arm. Is it true that you are not allowed to kill mosquitoes because they are Canada's national bird Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjsa Posted May 24, 2007 Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 No, they are harvestable, but there are limits, you can only catch and possess 200,000 per day, none live, and you are not allowed to let their flesh spoil. But, no cleaning is required. So, sprinkle them on everything you cook up, much like pepper, lots of protein in a few thousand of them on your hamburgers and steaks. Use a butterfly net to harvest them whole, hold it over the smoke from the fire to kill them, then funnel them into a used parmesan cheese shaker for garnishing your meals. Add them to your meals within 1 minute of going from the frying pan to the plate, they cook really fast. Anything longer, and the proboscis can be really tough going down the throat, considering there is going to be a few hundred of them every bite. Don't get too worked up about the daily and possession limit, the CO's are not likely to count every one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
