Double occupancy is $160/day and includes three deliciously prepared
meals. If you wish to fish through the dinner hour, meals can be
delivered to your cabin before 8 pm.

I have spent the last three 4ths of July in camp and the fishing has
been very good to excellent. The skeeters this year are blamed on a very
rainy early season, but except for fishing that one night, they were not
a problem. I imagine if we had been more liberal with the bug juice that
we wouldn't have had any problems. The black flies (late May to mid
June) were a bear this year. The breeze caused by the rushing waters at
the dam kept them at bay, however. There are no black flies in July.

While sitting on the porch at our camp, I used that little OFF machine
(about $6 for about 15 hours of service). Replace the battery and filter
for a nominal fee and you are back it business. It actually WORKED as
long as I wore it. I did not try it on the stream because it wasn't
needed. Did you know that a vodka martini kills a mosquito? And, beer
doesn't! Makes a man wonder. d;o)
