Black Fly Hunting Season

Each year, the town of South River, Ontario, opens Black Fly Hunting Season on May 7th. Here’s a quote from their website: “The South River municipality has declared open season from May 7 - June 4, 2005 for the third annual spring Black Fly Hunt. All interested hunters are invited to apply for a valid hunting license, which is valid for hunting black flies as well as seasonal discounts at local businesses in the vicinity of South River. Interested hunters with valid licenses will don whatever protective gear is necessary to seek out and capture as many black flies as possible for the official weigh-in at the close of the Spring Hunt in early June. The event closes with the crowning of the 2005 World Champion Black Fly Hunter.”
