The people who go fishing at night with all the fish flies... How do you keep them from bothering you at night? Is there a spray or anything I can use to keep them from driving me insane? Or any tips for night fishing would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

I was out Friday night & didn't have any Mayflies by me. There were other bugs that were attracted to my lantern so I turned it off.

yes it eventually ends unfortunately. but the hatches do seem to come later and later for a bug thats called mayfly there a little late. i think the clearer water has alot to do with it clear water warms slower then dirty. also fish shallower and nights with offshore winds will help greatly ive been swarmed in 15 ft and not a bug when moved into 12

Take lots of chocolate eat the chocolate and while chewing the chocolate make sure to open mouth really wide and alla bam chocolate covered mayflies. J/K I don't have a clue the men in the white jackets don't let me out after the street lights come on.

The little flies Im getting swarmed by are green little things
I do not know what they are called. I was getting swarmed with white ones last week.
All I know is I wanna hit em with hair spray and a lighter but my luck id burn the boat down

I've worn my 'clava at night for them. It keeps them out of my ears and nose. You'll still have them in your eyes a bit, but your nose and ears aren't full of them.

MMMMmmmm roasted chocolate covered bugs. Sounds good. It is about time for desert.

Little green ones might be aphids, little white ones are caddis flies. I hate those the most, they get in your hair, your eyes, your nose and they don't taste very good.

Caddis flys look like moths

Well then I guess we shouldn't use them for dessert with the chocolate and roasting process.

Just break out the fly rod and start catching some fish, fly fishing during a hatch is an amazing time!

 

[Musky Junky]

I just try to ignore them. However, keep mouth cosed when boat is moving.

Yes it is when I used to live up north on the manistee river we used to wait for the fly hatch. The monster trout come out during the hatch not sure how well it works on a lake but man did we get some monster trout during the hatch.
