Dennis, I don't think it's at the peak seems to be just starting. The little buggers live about 24 hrs. to propagate and die and it is ongoing for a couple of weeks. They are not as pesky as others on the lake they are just there and sort of neat. Make a trip to P.C. and the area campgrounds and docks. Go at nighttime when city lights are on look at the shop windows and you will see what I mean. As far as the bite it may or may not effect it, probably just an excuse for the lack of catching.
