I feel the bite is better in the afternoon during peak may fly season.
I think the fish eat all night and then are ready to eat a gain by 4:00 PM. Just my opinion.

When someone says “bug” it could mean a lot of different insects.
The most well known is the annual huge hatch of the large Hexagenia species of Mayfly. It has a lot of local names, locally “Canadian Soldiers” is popular. They typically hatch around mid June and are everywhere along the Lake shore, countless millions, so many they pile up under streetlights and cover almost everything within a quarter mile or more of the lake shore. This year the hatch seems late, as not much has been mentioned on this site yet until today. Links to two recent article below:

There are lots of other hatches of insects, as well as pestering flies, that are both noticeable and biting / really annoying that occur throughout the late spring, summer, and fall. Not going to mention them all here. Next time if you have a question about a “bug” try and give more details about it if you have it.
? – maybe all the undersize walleye are eating this year’s big mayfly hatch so we haven’t seen much of it yet. :confused:
