ladirushfan80 Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 yeah it's like that here in michigan.... being surrounded by lakes n all... :sigh: I have pictures very similar to yours from last year traveling the west side of the state last 4th of july. After being HAMMERED this past winter, we had a late, wet spring - hence the reason "mayflies" or shadflies are coming around late to the scene. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
