When I was a kid we lived on the North Shore of Cold Lake. Black flies, horse flies, and mosquitoes have always been a real problem there during the summer months. If you went in swimming you were literally covered with horseflies as soon as you came out of the water. We always had a fire going on shore, even in 90 above. With the combination of wet and hot weather we have had this year I would imagine they are just atrocious this year.
