Insects in Trouble?

I seem to be seeing few bugs on the water than in days past.  I thought it may just be my imagination and increasingly faulty memory.

Fishing Older

When I started thinking about fishing as one grows older, I assumed that it wasn’t that much different, but frankly it is, because you are a different human being. I no longer fish the Middle Branch of the Ontonagon from five in the morning until eleven at night. That was when I was home from a far away job and the odor of a trout stream was highest on my ethyl index. It still is.
