Well we got to scofield and had over 50 bites the first 5 minutes we were there!Unfortunatly they were mosquito bites ouch![pirate] Well we hung around for about an 1 1/2.Had to spray ourselves all over first! I had one bite and it was a huge one ! I was casting out my krocodile again and what ever it was liked it!I brought it in close to shore then i gave my pole to my son and he lost it.[unsure] He could barely hold the rod in his hands!Well that was the only fish bite we had but the mosquitos were worse than utah lakes and bigger so we left .

I had a friend that went on 5-15 as well. There were several people and all they caught was 1 small rainbow all day. He said the same thing about the Skeeters.

Ocean,
Let's discuss buggers! I dunno if you have ever lived yet because it was so bad at Willard... They don't bite me but they were thick! I was driving up to the North Dike, and my friend got out of the boat to investigate a huge thick wall of cloud atop of the dike... it was all mosquitoes... sure spooked the heck out of him and ran back to the boat... undetected! LOL The way Jas was describing it, it was like a wall preventing anybody from going through, or it was like, "I dare you to walk through this wall!"
Mosquitoes were all over the bay, but this thick cloud on the north dike must have been the motherlode protecting the queen of them all.
