Annual Mayfly Infestations.

[StephenDurasa]

Here on Lake St. Clair in MI, and surrounding cities, We get completely fucked by these nasty ass Mayflies. They hatch out of the water once conditions are right, Usually beginning of summer. Whole towns along the lake are forced to turn all lights off at night, because that is what they are attracted to, like most other bugs.

They only live 24 hours then die, and smell like shit in the scorching sun. They ruin pretty much all good fishing for a good month or so, and are also a really bad driving hazard when they pile up.

Does anyone else live in a city where these things shit on you for a few weeks?

gotta love my country and it's tiny meaningless insects.

that sounds sooo damn terrible

[Rotgut]

We have an infestation of these:







Mother fuckers are booze hounds. Leave wine out for a minute and you'll have at least 5 in your glass. It's really turned in to a battle of wills with them over who wants the alcohol more.

[Espen]

That is so cool, fishing must be great during those hatches. Are those Ephemera Danica btw?

[Rotgut]

He stated it ruins the fishing. I'm assuming the fish are plenty fed on those things for as long as they're around, but I'm no fisherman.

Yeah that`s correct really hard to make em rise to your fly when they got like a million others to choose from. the mayfly hatches in my area suck...

[StephenDurasa]

yeah, rotgut is correct. There are not too many streams or shallow running rivers in my area, so fly fishing is pretty out of the picture. Since they hatch straight out of the lake, all of the lake fish (small and largemouth bass, walleye, pearch,muskie and northern pike) are all quite well fed.

Its hillarious when people are in town that have never seen them before.
I usually just say "Don't worry, it dosn't hurt too bad when they bite you" ahaha

I don't know how prevolant they are around the world, but from what i hear, our area gets it pretty goddamn bad.

This one time, I went out with this girl, and I'm pretty sure her vagina farted.

[JamesTheGreat]

BEDBUGS > ALL.

I rather have an infestation of anything over bedbugs.

[kike mallahan]

They get pretty bad on Lake Erie where my dad lives. It is fun driving under street lights and listening to them popping.

[Krantz]

I should call her. It didn't smell that bad I guess.

[Dirty D]

Im so glad I moved west of the lake


ok pointless story= when I was a little girl and it was fish fly season I went out for ice cream, got out of the car and everything was coated with the bug, the whole building, side walk ect. I got out the car and took a few steps CRUNCH CRUNCH CRUNCH, I was horrified but I really wanted the ice cream so I pushed on and slipped on bug guts fell on my back! It was so slick I couldent get back up and I was screaming when I had to put my hands in it to balance myself . I was about 7 or 8 years old and I cried

[Rotgut]

Are you traumatized?

[Dirty D]

Are you traumatized?

fuck yeah I was at the time! now days there so common that they can land on me and I dont freak out, for example now I pick them up by the wings and put them on other people

one of my oldest friends would just lose it when I put them in her hair!! so funny

[Shawn Bishop]

i hate those fuckers. plain and simple.

[Krantz]

Maybe she had other redeeming qualities that I'll never know about. Maybe she was good at tennis, or liked to give hand-shandies in the shower. I'll never know now. All because I yelled - "You farted! You farted from your front! AAAAAAHHH!!!" and ran home to take a shower.

She was pretty too. Not like pretty pretty. Just pretty.
