Gonna be a bad year for bugs
Went fishing on a small lake yesterday evening. Was covered with mosquitoes! Last year I barely even saw a mosquito. Bug spray going in the tackle box. Had one person say they saw a lightning bug. March 18th! Amazing. Well, just goes to show it's all one big cycle.
Good fishing technique trumps all.....wish I had it.
That means it may be a great year for fishing for big fat trout and bass. Lots of bugs, sounds good to me.

Good point. The fish sure were active.

yay. even more ticks than usual.
Last year was a bad year for ticks here. Maybe they will be few this year? One can only hope.

I have a couple of tubes of sun screen with bug repellant in it. Good stuff.
Want to hear God laugh? Tell him Your plans!!!
Yeah, just hope it ain't a bad one for fleas. Cost me a fortune to keep 'em off me K-9's.

We've had quill gordons in the SNP for 3 full weeks - skipped the blue quills and went right to the big bugs. I'm working in C'ville now so give me a holler when you want to meet up. If you're up for a hike, the remote stuff has been especially rewarding this year. Be good, be safe and we WILL catch up this spring!!!

Need to tie up
Hi All,
I need to tie up some mosquitos! If they are going to try to bite on me, then I am thinking that maybe I can get the fish to bite on them, or at least a mosquito fly that I tie up.
I consider your post as a possible "heads up" for fishing mosquito flies!
Regards,
Gandolf
