I always heard that once you see mosquitoes, the black flies are done. Seems to be holding true this year. As mentioned earlier, they were really thick this weekend. Bring DEET!

Done? DONE?!?! AIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! No way. This morning, my brother and I were MAULED as we canoed from Melvin Village toward Specticle Island. It was the first time all we'd neglected to use any Jungle Juice, and we REGRETTED it. Granted, those flies out on the islands don't have as much human blood (or any other blood) to harvest, so they were MORE than a little hungry. But rest assured, the flies are alive and well as of Monday (at least on the eastern side of the Lake).
