Black flies have pretty much come and gone, we are now into the mosquito season. Did see a couple of May flies yesterday so I would think that hatch is coming soon.

How badly does the may fly hatch shut down the bite?

I'm heading up to the West Arm next weekend and from what I've read... mayfly hatch = zero bite. I've never fished in that area before and I've never been out during the hatch either so I'm not sure what to expect.

I don't know where dockboy is located,

But they were pretty well peak on the West Arm on the weekend. 25% deet wouldn't keep them off me.

Mosquitoes are early this year, and thick.

There are a few mayflies hatching, but they are not the subspecies that does the major shutdown hatch on the west end. Those come in early-mid June. May be early this year, although the water was still pretty cool.
