Dunno about stable flies but deerflies and blackflies in northern WI and MN avoid me when I've used permethrin or DEET on my gear. Skeeters and ticks too, of course. Just one hiker's experience.

Thanks for all the chatter on bugs/timing/etc. Heading up in middle August for a two week wander.
Pretty much when the temps get below freezing is when the bugs start to go away. Other than that I will be wearing tightly woven nylon clothing with permethrin and meet does an awesome job too.

Are there going to be any group hangs on the SHT around the end of Sept this year?
