[cool][#0000ff]I was not looking for them and there was a fairly brisk onshore breeze as we launched. Last year there were sometimes big "islands" of the shucks and carp were vacuuming them up with loud slurps. There are always HUGE hatches of midges along that area of the lake.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Maybe it was the breeze and maybe the midges had the area blockaded, but we only saw a few mosquitoes and no mayflies that I could see. Usually a few will land on the tubes but didn't notice any this morning.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]I did have a couple of light ginger mayflies (about size 16) on my back door screen yesterday, if that helps. [/#0000ff]
