Report
Water is high but not even close to last year (2022). Warmer than usual so during the week flies came out in billions (regular flies). Also noseeums are out in full force. The last two days mosquitoes too. In the past May was always free of bugs for me, not this year. Take a headnet!!! A lot of trumpeter swans, good fishing and as beautiful as always.
