Lake report: the shad flies (we call them shad flies, but they are NOT Mayflies) were the worst anyone can ever remember at the Lake this weekend

Posted by Beaker (aka Anniebecca) May 24 '22, 08:39

there was a foot of them in the Lake and literally billions in the water. couldn't walk outside without getting some in your mouth or all over you.

was freaking crazy

(they are about 1/4 - 1/2 the size of a mosquito, they don't bite thankfully).
Monday woke up to a strong wind and they were mostly all blown away so hopefully won't be around when we go back

Responses:

but where did they get blown to? -- nm* - decline May 24, 08:48 1
- to "not my problem" (likely up into the woods. They wouldn't have a very long life span as they are only around a week or two typically) - Beaker May 24, 08:49
