E. Alabama, to give you the geographical location etc. I went fishing at the local watershed this past Tuesday and Wednesday. Temps were in the low 70's, and fish WERE biting... But, I saw some type bug that I was TRYING to ID and could not... Except for the fact that they did NOT bite me at all, I would have said it was swarms of Mosquitoes. I always take a net thingy with Me that is used to clean the surface of swimming pools, but was unable to catch any, as they stayed their distance from me for some reason (Maybe My BO LOLOL)... But anyway, till this past yr when I got addicted (is there a 12 step program for Fly tying.fishing???0 to fly tying and fishing cause of this great group...I never really paids attention to bugs unless they were biting or stinging Me.... Any ideas???? Suggestions??? Thanks in advance, Chuck
