Are the bugs everyone talking about today black flies or midges? Had a few flies last Monday when we were out but really not bad. Lucky I guess.

Mostly midges but there was one other species of bug that had bigger wings and about 1/4" long. None of them were man eaters but they do drive you nuts getting in your nose, mouth and eyes plus crawling all over you, just plain irritating. There were just a very few of the stable flies (the biters) but not many. Most of those in my boat succumbed to the Home Defence that I had sprayed earlier this month.

On another note there were some decent marks that looked like perch at both B-Can and C-Can areas but the algae may get to bad for those fish to remain in those locations. At times it looked to be blooming from the surface down to about 6 inches from the surface. You could actually watch the chain of green just start appearing right before your eyes almost like a starburst. Just my opinion but I think this may become worse than even the experts are claiming it will be. Especially if it goes to being sunny and temps approach the 90s.
