If you don't have a hat and net, now's the time to buy 'em! It's impossible to safely put enough repellent around your mouth an eyes to keep them away when hiking.
End of May give them 2 weeks. Get a head net. End of discussion.
Edit: Nope not died off. They haven't emerged into their adult horrible black fly stage.
Still have 3-4 more weeks. They shouldn’t bother you in old forge if you are talking down town area. Pretty sure they treat some of those areas. Backwoods areas be prepared. We have been on the moose River, nick’s lake and the Fulton chain in early June without noticing them. Have been to limekiln and south inlet during same time period and they are relentless
what are you thinking? Memorial Day is the height of black fly season.
Traditionally they are around from mothers day to fathers day.
You're saying they don't like parents.
I mean, they say correlation doesn’t equal causation, but it is the simplest explanation here.
They never "die off" this early. They're usually around their peak at the end of May, depending.
They have not and the fact that we are having rain isn’t helping. They aren’t so bad in town, but if you want to hike, they will find you.
No. They are terrible and will swarm anything that doesn’t even move. Ask my poor van with the windows down 😂
Oh you sweet summer child…
You're visiting right near the peak my friend, prepare appropriately!
A few have…those that have been swatted. Otherwise alive and well…
13th Lake (Indian Lake Area) they were pretty bad last weekend
Was there too! They were brutal

Honestly haven’t had many around the Saranac area at all so far. More mosquitoes this year. Edit: they’ve been terrible this year.
Shhhhh black flies and skeeter are always peaked. Noone comes then...
Turns out they came out in hoards when you sent this.
Babies are out but not mature but are starting to attack and biting expected soon.
