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...

July 11-13, Jennie Lakes Wilderness. Mosquitoes showed up in huge numbers around dusk, but were gone by around 9:30 or so. Around a 3.

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.

July 23-26, Desolation Wilderness
Lake Aloha, China Flat, Dick's Lake
Pretty much a 1 everywhere with Permethrin and bug spray. Maybe a 2 in the wooded/marshy areas, esp in China Flat.
Ranger I spoke to said they've been on the decline for the past few weeks.

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.
