Hi Jim,
I have not given it much thought but now that you mention it I do think there are fewer midge swarms this year... so far. They are not candidates for endangered species classification yet but it is nice to have fewer of them. I have encountered a few midge masses while fishing at night. I have been in a few of those swarms that made breathing difficult and also satisfied hunger pangs. The only defense I have found for them is avoidance or a head net or a good wind. Mosquito spay does not discourage them at all.
I do not miss the shortage of midges but I sure do miss the shortage of big cats. Hopefully the best is yet to come.[:/]
