Black flies mentioned in Post 481. These weren't them! (Thankfully) My post re Door County Wi trip. Locals indicated Winnabago flies.

I’m a fly fisherman, I study the local mayfly hatches intently.

There are 9 different hatches throughout the summer on the lower Saginaw (Tittabawassee) River. Adult mayflies range in size from a dime to a quarter. They don’t fill the air like the old days (60s/70s) but, they can be bothersome if you are near the river on hatch night.

In between hatches, I drag a plastic hellgrammite on the bottom.
