OT : Deerflies and Camping this Summer
Anyone else in the Western US this summer notice the absolute insane
amount of deerflies this summer ? Moist spring I guess is the culprit, but jeez, what a mess. No amount of DEET could deter them. Muy annoying. |

Muy annoying. ObThreadMeld: Utah is very bad this year. I just got back from four days in the High Uintas and it was hotter and had more bugs than I've seen in many years. You know it's bad when they hang out on the DEET bottle. Even with all the bugs, it was so hot, the fish were too lazy to jump. They are even bad in the Wasatch at my house. And that is rather unusual. I hear Vail is nice. -klaus |

Yeah I was up at Whitney Reservoir in the Uintas off Rt. 150 from the north end. Lazy trout, super hot weather and bugs that just ate you alive. No fun at all...almost felt like sticking my sleeping bag downwind of the firepit to get in the smoke. -klaus |

Muy annoying. We dont have a Deerfly in the UK, only a tame relative called a horsefly. Doing a Google I found http://tinyurl.co.uk/wagb So perhaps getting multiple bites could prevent a thrombosis ! |
