Are there any great smallmouth lake up in the WCPP?

They are in the Bloodvein watershed. They are considered an invasive species.

Bugs were never a problem, aside from a few mosquitoes easily delt with using a little deet. Never needed a headnet or bug shirt. The walleye were eager, as were the pike. My daughter caught her biggest yet, a fat 38 incher on 8 pound test. We didn't trout fish for more than an hour or so, in Wrist, and she did catch a dandy there too.
If it says anything, my next trip is going to be in the same timeframe, next year.

I also like the really long days in June. Great time to go.

Help me decide the best time of year for my first trip to WCPP. Fishing is my main interest, and fewer bugs always makes me happy. I want to spend some time going after larger Pike and Lake Trout in addition to Walleye for dinner. I just came back from a week in the boundary waters where it was sunny and in the 80's the whole time. Too warm for hard portaging in my book.
I am looking at two weeks, but that could be extended. My biggest concern with a late summer trip is finding the Lake Trout in deep water by then.

Mid June. Chances are better for decent water levels. Best fishing. But it really is a personal preference.

The long days in June are certainly a big plus.
