A local I was talking to in Little River told me the best way to avoid the lake flies is to slow down to about 50-60 km/h and they won't stick.

You got a fishing license for that catch Mr? I bet you are over your quota as well......

...that just gives the fuckers time to get inside your visor and up your nose and in your eyes...and they have a bitter taste, 'cos you get to swallow the fuckers too...my girl and i do 10 to 15 ks on the cycleway as often as we can but at times we have to turn back as the swarms are too thick to breath or see in...best thing to have is a damp rag in a plastic bag in your pocket if you are coming this way regularly...a warm summers night is far worse for them compared to the huge swarms you see during daylight hours...they were controlled to the point that they were not a problem at one point, but it was stopped by whoever...greenies probably, but probably sensible...the frogs may have been suffering from the spray also?...oh well, there must be some price to pay for living in paradise...

Can't we just nuke them?

Carnauba Wax works well too.
