So i zipped down for an afternoon fish on Chesterfield Wednesday afternoon. It was sweltering out there. No bugs on the lake, no birds, no fisherman and no bites. Until the sun dropped behind the mountains and it was like a dinner bell was rang. We hooked five in a half hour all ranging in that three to three and a half range. The bad part is that they are sucking the water down quickly now and the edges are stinky and swampy. You should have seen the cloud of mosquitoes. By the time I got the boat on the trailer I had probably been tagged 50 times. I hauled the boat a mile down the road before I pulled over to strap everything down thinking I would get away from the mosquitoes. They were worse. In my nose, in my mouth....When I got back in the truck there were hundreds in the truck. Headed down the interstate with all windows down trying to chase those blood suckers out. Haven't seen them that bad since I was a kid. Will most likely wait till fall to hit again.
