You guys have me leary! Are the bugs really that bad?!?
Hanging in the woods, paddlin and catching trout- My kind of living...
I did a loop through Canoe, Sunbeam and Burnt Island in Algonquin on 04-08 July and the squitos were the worst I'd seen in a while. Last year I had none get into my Superior hammock, but this year, they were getting in all night. There are openings in the bugnet at each end and I watched them work their way in where the fabric doesn't quite lay flat. These squitos were smaller than the ones last year and maybe smarter. I had a bug zapper racquet which I used inside the hammock and shook the corpses out every morning. There's nothing like the smell of fried squitos in the hammock. Thanks to Jiblets for showing me the way of the racquet.
Unless plans change I will be heading in on Saturday, First Trip to Noganosh so am looking forward to it!
I will just head in an look for the spot marked on the map. Anyone have an estimate from Ess Narrows to the site? Is it about 3 hours?
New handle but KWK has me counted already as J.G.
@cruzer51 Check this option out. what you were looking for over a tarp and half price of no bug zone. Covers over existing tarp.

Very roughly, 7+ km from Ess Narrows to 1st portage off the Pickerel River, then another 7 km to the island site I'm hoping for (assuming it is vacant when we get there). Depending on your paddling speed, 3 - 4 hrs should get you close to that spot.
If we're not there, I suggest heading to the sites in the south arm of Noganosh. We'll keep our eyes peeled for you & I will try to hang my big Canadian flag in a conspicuous location.
Whoo buddy!

I'm heading in on Saturday morning, trying to locate you guys and then planning on working my way over to Wahwashkesh Lake. Kinda interested to see the John/Kelsie portage in the summer time. Will have a newbie with me, so this should be interesting....
