Old Ironmaker Posted May 13, 2017 Report Share Posted May 13, 2017 (edited) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_fly I am assuming the object in the picture on the right is a human? If it is a human, and I think it is, remind me not to go there. The Wikipedia article sort of answered my question when I read that there are 1800 different genus of Black Flies. Who are these people that know that and dedicate their entire scientific careers to find that out including he fact 4 of the species are now extinct?

4x4bassin Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 Just got back from a camping/fishing trip in this general area and I can say the blackflies are out in full force . Swollen/itchy hands are in full effect today !!! Skeeters were even out buzzing around which was surprising . Its going to be a bad couple months coming up for biting bugs me thinks.

Pikeslayer Posted May 24, 2017 Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 As I sit here in a screened in porch somewhere in Seguin, I see a massive cloud of blackbastards hovering over the warming Q 20 ft away. I will need to suit up while tending the steak, retreat to the screened in porch, spray bomb & unsuit before opening the door to the cottage. Worst fly season I've seen in seven years here. But totally worth it Despite winds, rain, bugs & babysitting newbies, best opener ever !! Everybody landed pike & walleye. Mostly walleye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKRISONER Posted May 24, 2017 Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 the deet was doing its duty this past weekend. When she was calm there were clouds of the buggers...but i didnt even end up getting bit one time. Praise the lord...i dont think i will be so lucky in a couple of weeks time.

guastels Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 We are on Otter Lake in Parry Sound and the Black flies have been brutal. Need to walk around with a head net on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fish_fishburn Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 I showed a waterfront property yesterday and the mosquitos were something awful. Going to be a bumper year in the Ottawa valley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
