I have said it for years Jim, and many times on different forums, many do not agree with me, but a midge net is the safest bet, hopefully these photos prove my point. We did not defeat the Roman Legions, the Midge did that for us.

I have suffered so much in the past from the wee terrors.The Orchy was the worst but now a good net and surgical gloves makes fishing hot,sweaty but bearable.Just home from Alaska where the noseeums were pretty bad at times.
