Sometimes I think about why I am out there fishing when it is wet and rainy. I do not mind the rain at all. I do not mind getting wet. I DO mind those darn bugs - mosquitoes and black flies - when they get in and under my clothing in the worst places!
I know it is great for fly fishing if the fish are gobbling those up. I just hate to think about and see all of the bites that I have to itch for a good week more.
The other day I went with my daughter to go fishing along the Nashua River in Groton MA. It was 3 in the afternoon. When we got down by the river, we were attacked by swarms of mosquitoes!!!
Yes, we stuck it out until 7:45, but we were covered in bites from our heads to our toes...my daughter wore sandals. Do not worry she is over 30 and could take care of herself; if she was little, we would have left. I am definitely going to try Off! Clip-On repellent. I will let you know how it works.
