Mosquito Report for Desolation and Twenty Lakes Basin?
On July 23 I'm heading to either Dicks Lake in Desolation or Twenty Lakes Basin. Anyone know of the skeeter situation in those areas? Thanks a million (trout)!

They were bad in Desolation two weeks ago...but should be moderating by now. I cowboy camped up on a granite ridge in Desolation twice in early July and only used a headnet for about 45 minutes.
Last night we were at 9,000 feet in Yosemite (Lyell Canyon) and had only minor issues with bugs. i was fly-fishing on the river and used Deet for that at dusk, otherwise, there were few enough to slap.
