On Saturday night in Tawas City we came out of the bar after the band played their first set and the parking lot was FILLED with mayflies. I was of course delighted and told my buddies, "The fish are eating good tonight!!" Jonathon | |

 | The boob tube had a blurb last night, one of the tabloid shows after the national news..."Havana, Illinois suffers massive bug nightmare with 4-6" of 'mayflies' (HEXES!!!) piling up on bridges and roads." They made it sound like the bugs from hell were loose, lots of (heavily edited?) negative comments... They showed the obligatory radar image of clouds of bugs that gave the impression of an approaching storm... I guess its all in the eye of the beholder, all things considered. Regarding Hexes in general, I'm tying some very traditional Michigan patterns lately, the Clark Lynn aka Spring Wiggler among them. Decades of history with these guys. Roguerat 'Less is more...'
