    Well the kids and I slipped out onto a creek this morning. The kids caught their first fish ever on artificial baits (beetlespins) and we were having a wonderful time swimming in the creek and fishing until..................HELL'S insect showed up and started the beat down on my head and neck!

    I feel your pain, I was feeding our chickens and discovered a yellow jacket nest.... One of them discovered me first on the back of my neck....

    As soon as it gets dark.... they shall be torched.

    That's when you made your mistake. Horseflies are attracted to the smell of water.
