Fly Fishing Gear

What are these biting flies that want to keep me out of my yard this time of year?They fly in your eyes,etc.?

These biting flies have been out since May but are really bad now. What can I do about them?

You gave us no clue where you live, and there are different kinds of biting flies in different places. This is a bad year for them in South Dakota and southwestern Minnesota, partly because of all the rain/flooding we had last month. Usually they appear in June but this year they came in May. They are still here. No spray will protect you. Brand like OFF! and Cutter contain Deet or Picardin, which is NOT effective against biting flies or ticks, only mosquitos. I do a lot of outdoor photography and these bugs (we call them buffalo gnats here) can drive me insane. Their bites are very itchy for several days and worse than mosquito bites. All I can do is wear a headnet and either a longsleeve shirt or a netting jacket. You have to cover yourself with something to keep from getting bit. The good news is they are generally gone by the end of June.
