Oh God, those black flies in ME are horrendous. The old saw about "a bad day of fishing is better than a good day at work," has to be modified with, "unless the black flies are around!"
Years ago we were flyfishing on the West Branch of the Penobscot, below Seboomik Dam, and saw them carry a moose right off the bank! And Woodsman's Fly Dope will kill a maggot but the black flies thrive on it. ;-)
