You will be welcomed...

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.

Ha! LoL

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 :)

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

Hey Adam I will see you up there my son and I are right behind you scheduled for entering Friday the 24 good luck, and be safe

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).

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

Did we bump into you and your son at the mismarked Quetico Lake portage??
