At High Cliff State Park, the annual lake fly hatching and mating ritual has begun.

The volume of insects swarming in the air is unbelievable!

    1. The life span of lake flies is 10 to 14 days, but the Department of Natural Resources say they've seen more larvae in Lake Winnebago and that could mean a second wave in a couple of weeks.
