Ryan_V Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 Rode pine center yesterday, holy $%@! for the horse flys!! I've never led on the trail before and usually like to look at the map, but I couldn't even stop because everytime I got under 10MPH I got about a dozen horsefly bites, it was totally out of control!! anyone ever have that problem there??

Boss Hogg Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 I was at Longville today. Same Thing. It is a bumper crop of them this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roofer Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 Normally it's deer flies, but anyhow.......I don't know what kind of neighborhood you guys live in, but the deer flies are terrible anywhere out of town lately. They seem to have come out about 2 weeks ago at my place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iambjm Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 My hubby was out riding a forest trail the other day and said they were ferocious. Last year fishing was almost unbearable they were so bad. The best thing I found to keep them from biting is Bullfrog by mosquito coast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bjjams Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 Oh yeah the horseflies are super thick up there this year. They were getting bad a month and a half ago and it's only going to get worse. Red top was also pretty bad. The pace on ten bruin was just slow enough for them to keep up with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
