There are no black flies or mosquitoes on the water when traversing it in a canoe generally. Rice harvesting is done in the fall when there are fewer mosquitoes anyway. That is how you get out of the fly swarm, is to go over water where there is a breeze. Insecticides are not necessary in a canoe on lakes or rivers. I have worked in the bush for many years. When you are moving or in heat, you do not notice flies. If you stay in the dry swamp or in shade or do not bend over near plants then you are not bothered that much. On portages, depending on the area you will get either mosquitoes or deer flies. Every area of Canada is different and every season is different. I have seen seasons where there were no bugs at all in the bush Ontario or Saskatchewan and generally the only bugs in BC in the Mountains are ticks rarely in the spring. There are no mosquitoes or black flies in these areas. The far north rivers of North Ontario have heavy flies in the evening. Few in the centre in a breeze during the day. The whole thing varies far more than people realize. Of the 30 or so seasons I have spent in the bush on exploration, coast to coast I can remember only about two seasons where the flies were a caution. If rice were out of stupid government control and people could seed it and harvest it, in farms, then the industry would be profitable and prices would fall. The price is due to mistaken, socialist, unconstitutional government interference in business. They have done the same to fish and Caribou farming. No domestic species of animal can be farmed. This has hurt the natives far more than helped them as it has guaranteed high prices and few customers, as the natives have not learned how to farm rice. Rice seeding was invented by a white guy from Kenora. The natives took over the lakes by complaining to the government and the lakes got taken from the entrepreneur. The natives never learned seeding and do not profit by it. Incidentally the government of Manitoba never could teach them to farm either in the last 200 years that it tried. Now that same federal government and other provincial governments are trying to take timber and mineral resources from business! They did it in the Windy Craggy in BC by making the mineral areas parks controlled by Hakowis! Best and cheapest-to-harvest copper resources in the world. In excess of 1% copper and literally dozens of 100 million-ton deposits. With plenty of water power. Went all the way to the Iditarod in the Wrangells of Alaska. It is high time we got rid of these liberal and socialist idiots in government for once and for all. Rules: Never vote for a liberal or lawyer. Never vote for someone with an IQ you can see is less than his hat size and never vote for a person who has not been in business successfully. If we don't do it here and in the States then soon we won't have any resources to make anything. EC<:-}
