High Sierra Topix

1/2 - Mosquitoes were mostly absent except for the more swampy locations and sometimes at dawn/dusk.

On my trip through Northern Yosemite along the PCT 6/18-6/21 the mosquitoes varied between a 3 and 4. The Stubblefield/Thompson area seemed a little worse.

June 12 Long Lake in Bishop Creek Basin: 1. MANY larvae in the water waiting to fly.

Dinkey Lakes Wilderness - 6/21 & 6/22. 1 to 3 depending upon location & time of day. Mostly àbout a 1, but pretty annoying in the morning at Rock Lake. Breeze came up each day and put em down in afternoon . I will say the area was really dry for this time of year, and I would expect the Skeets will drop off dramatically in short order.

Mosquitos were pretty bad in Sabrina Basin once above Blue Lake this past weekend.

Hi Granite4brains,

PM sent.

Rodeo Meadow/Summit Lake/Thompson Lake (Sierra NF south of Florence Lake) 6/22: 2
Red Rock Basin (east of Thompson Pass) 6/23-6/25: 4

Little Lakes Valley 6/22-24
Treasure and Gem Lakes were a 3 but the wind kept the buggers at bay most of the time. They seemed to be getting worse as the days progressed.

The upper ~2/3 of the trail is about 3-4. They mostly let you walk through, but if you stop, they will immediately try to suck you dry!

The lake itself wasn't a problem at all.

Middle Velma Lk on M-Tu and again Th-F was a 2.

6/18 piute pass TH - 2, 3 at North Lake
6/19 Humphreys Basin - 2 to 3 below 10,500 or near water. 0-1 at higher elevations. None at Desolation Lk.
