Louisiana 2019 Day 2

Sunrise in Miss River delta complex.

Calm.  Ominous as it turned out.

Tested by a biblical plague.

The bites didn't hurt too bad but the swarms made sight fishing difficult.  Even in covering up nearly every square inch of skin.  They dove in at eye corners and flew up pant legs.

We were stoic and never suggested quitting.  But the bugs really made the marsh difficult just in terms of seeing fish with clear eyes.  We eventually left and tried something else.  Got some sheepshead; first for both of us.  

Human-looking incisors.

Flounder on the fly; another first.

We paid a bit of toll; nothing too bad though; cool to have pushed on through it.
