July 12 and 13 I camped at 11,000' below Baxter pass while climbing nearby peaks. Mosquitoes were 2.5, dawn and dusk. Nothing like a welcome party after a hard day climbing...

Quick day trip to fish out of Agnew meadow, mosquitoes are minimum during the day along the river trail route: Agnew->Garnet->1000 islands->Agnew. It's 1.5 at most.

Close to zero the whole trip. I have been spraying my clothing with Permathrin and I sprayed some DEET on each morning. Still, I only remembering seeing one mosquito and that was in the Sixty Lakes Basin area.

Pretty much a 1 everywhere with Permethrin and bug spray. Maybe a 2 in the wooded/marshy areas, esp in China Flat.

Sierra High Route from Copper Creek to Lake Basin, over Cartridge, Pinchot, back to Roads end via Woods Creek: 1 or 2 mostly in wet areas. With Permethrin treated clothes, I managed to never need my headnet and just applied DEET on legs a couple times as I wore shorts the entire time.
