One more of one of those maybe someday job.Harry wrote: ↑Tue Apr 22, 2025 8:10 amIt has been a thought but in the summer it seems I get to busy.

black flies are out already , but fortunately are not biting yet .Oh God I had almost forgotten about them over the winter. We didn’t have black flies down here till couple of years ago. They call them buffalo gnats here and wouldn’t you know I happened to be allergic to them! I get lumps all over from the bites. Too many bites and I get black fly fever. Never knew there was such a thing!DavidBarkey wrote: ↑Wed Apr 23, 2025 6:32 pm I can tell you the
Depends on the season , if it stays wet and cool enough they are here all season . But if we get a good hot dry spell it kills most off and the rest go hide deap in the marshes .JSinMO wrote: ↑Wed Apr 23, 2025 7:44 pmOh God I had almost forgotten about them over the winter.

The only saving grace is there only around for 3 or 4 weeks. Then done and gone for the rest of the year. Don’t guys have them all season?
