Ever since we cannot get the Muskol with 98%deet here in Canada

 I use a product from Great Outdoors made by Watkins with great success

Deet in this product is 30% but it does work

Some people claim thermacell works great against black flies.  I used a couple of them when building a shed behind my cottage and they worked really good repelling mosquitos.  They are most effective when wind is calm.

That product is only 35% deet

For real protection like we used to get here in Canada with Muskol being 98% deet you now have to go the States to get products like Repel 100 or Max Deet that are over 98%. Yea it's powerful stuff but you don't need as much and it lasts much longer.

So this year our crew is going to Kipawa a week earlier then usual, June 15 -20 due to my wifes need to celebrate our 30th anniversary which falls on our usual fishing week ..little did I know these type of events were important. So my question is what is the best bug dope to use to combat black flies? I'm sure if several guys get chewed up they will be looking at me with anger in their eyes.. any advice would be appreciated, Thanks Ziggy

I know some folks are watching the water levels, so i will try to keep up until it gets close to summer levels.
Here is the last 2 days.

There are no words to express the sorrow of losing a child. My prayers are with you and your family.

I can not imagine your sorrow of having lost a son.

Sincerest condolences

Remember the good times

My deepest condolences to you and your family...life is indeed fragile.

Sorry to hear of your loss. I can't imagine.
