Skeeters are definitely part of the Canal equation.
I like to wear something with long sleeves and a hood. It can be hot but if you choose the materials , and fish at night , its usually tolerable. I also spray the bug repelent around the edge of the hood. It keeps most bugs off me without getting it on my skin. I do have to spray my hands directly though.
Sometimes them buggers will bite right through your pants so sometimes you have to spray the outside of your cloths.
Anyway , you want to minimize the number of bites if possible because skeeters carry some nasty diseases. Some that can even kill you.
