Incoming!! Y’all ready? 😃

Fish fly TSUNAMI WARNING
in effect the next 10 days.
6/4/26

Warmer temperature with multiple days of near 90° within the next 10 days will help facilitate lake water temperatures to begin to rise quickly and approaching the magic temperatures of 68° that will trigger the tsunamis of fish flies along Lake Erie, Lake St. Clair and Lake Huron over the next 10 days.

We already have confirmed sightings in Lake St. Clair and around the Monroe and Toledo area of Lake Erie.

Surges of Fish Fly Tsunamis are likely all the way up into the Saginaw Bay region over this time period.

These surges of Fish Fly Tsunamis will likely come on strong and suddenly, these surges will blanket cars, buildings and outdoor furniture leaving behind a post mating mess of eggs and carcasses piling up on surfaces.
Leaving a mild clean up behind.

Warning area of Southeast Michigan and Ohio Lake Erie shoreline along with the Sarnia/Windsor corridor of Ontario along the Great Lakes and Lake St. Clair.

No need to run in fear or panic, this is not like Allred Hitchcocks The Birds. They will not eat you as they have no mouth or digestive system.

Their whole life as an adult is 48 hours on land to mate, no matter if they are successful or not that's all they have before becoming landscape waste.

It's that time of year. Be ready.
