Northern Saskatchewan 2010 - Bugs




Blackflies can be bad when you are sweaty, especially bad in autumn.
Clothing is the best defense.  I do not use bug spray.
The headnet is so important, I have three of them.



Luckily, blackflies "disappear" when you make a smoky fire.
This last picture is at a portage with very bothersome blackflies.
Smoke, tea and a bite to eat were very welcome.
