Head Net Recommendation ?

A group of us fish Maine every spring and the black flies can be pretty brutal if there isn't a breeze. Any recommendations on a good headnet and place to buy them?

Thanks.

I bet you could get a good deal on some Burqas in Pennsylvania right now. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/stirthepot.gif

Yep, A friend of mine goes bear hunting and he said it was like a wall of black flies 3' from him with his Thermacell.

I put mine on my belt or attached to the seat pole. Skeeters all over the back. None on the front. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/thumbsup2.gif

Check out the Buff UV head wraps. Protection from the sun and bugs, plus you can run with it and it can be configured a dozen different ways to fit your needs/situation.
You can find them at almost any sporting goods store (BPS, Cabelas, Gander, etc...) or their websites.

You fishing with Mitch and Ray? Our club used to pick them up at the Kittery Trading post on the way up. Check their website or call.

Yes, it is a late spring tradition since 2005. Ray and Mitch are part of a group of about 15 of us who head up every year.

Bug off suit...... has a hood with head net in it.

Grow a set ,, If your gonna let our fish bite you // Let our black flies do the same http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/roll.gif http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/roll.gif http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/roll.gif

If you guys play your cards right and plan things out you could probably get a few of these for few from your local police department. Might even get out in time to make the trip north! http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/Laugh.gif

Not many things bother me, but those black flies sure do, especially 5000 at once.

Mike , what ponds are you fishing ?? http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/glasses.gif http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/glasses.gif

You know who we are E+J Best of luck up in the north woods

Each year I hit 10 or 12 lakes and ponds from Little Sebago up to Cobbessee. It seems like the ones west of Sebago Lake have more bugs than the others. But these guys make it well worth it. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/smile.gif

Im jealous. Ive spent one day up there since 99. I talked to Ray when he was making me a rod 2 years ago after you guys went up. He had some great tales.

I'm sure the rod that Ray built for you came out great. He has built a handful for me and always does a great job.

Black flies...as big as a gnat and bite like a DOG! I bought my headnet from Cabela's many years ago. Be sure to put some rubber bands around your pant legs so those little bastages don't bite your ankles!
