I was in the SW part of the park through the 19th. I was truly amazed at the absence of insect populations during my 2 week trip. Mosquitoes were virtually non-existent during most of the trip and were only bothersome of a few swampy portage landings during later stages of the trip. I saw ONE tick, and it wasn't on me. There were a few black flies and horse flies, but they weren't overly aggressive. Gnats were present throughout the trip, but weren't developing into a nuisance until the last couple of days.
For the record ... this is the lowest presence of insects I witnessed for any May/June trip I've taken (which is well over a dozen).

We were in that area the 5th-13th & they were not bad at all. With the rain & warm weather, things could be changing fast though.

Have a fun time and let us know the conditions when you get back on both the bugs and water levels.

How would you change your plan if bugs were reported bad? Or not bad?

Mayflies are starting to hatch as well as several stoneflies. The common house fly and horesfly made an entrance this past week. I actually welcome nightfall so that only the "usual" mosquito visitors were there to contend with. With wind and some cool overnight temperatures came relief :)

Wouldn't change anything, I just like a frame of reference before I go up.
