bugs eating you so fiercely it was like being devoured instead of being buzzed. i was praying for my neoprene gloves that i left at home with 75 mosquitos attacking each bare hand. Havent seen that kinda bug infestation for many moons. I have a mini pond and have drained it three times so far due to mosquito control.
um...skin so soft is a good substitute.... and the citranella oiled sprays are good too substituting for the deet based sprays....but these bugs need either a stiff wind or huge smokey torches to drive them off. I'ts hard to concentrate on fishing getting bit that often and definately takes the FUN right out of it. NASTY!!
