Heading out on the Tuesday, the 31st from E27 and doing the loop (Snowbank-Boot-Cattyman-Disappointment-Parent-Snowbank). We are going to have a couple of newbees with us. How are the bugs? Any bear sightings or problems? How is the fishing?? Has then been alot of traffic this past week, I know it is busy time of year.

Was in there a couple weeks ago... All I can say is get your campsite early. Heavily traveled route. We caught a couple nice walleyes on Disappointment, but other than that it was all smallies. Bugs were not a big issue. They came out at dusk, but still wasn't the worst I've seen... never used bug dope myself. The ankle biters were a little bit of a bother. No Bears that I'm aware of being a bother in the area.

Had zero bugs where we were at but one lake to the south of us they were terrible. Fishing sucked but then again I'm not much of a fisherman so I would expect the worst and hope for the best.Have a great trip!
