Where the bugs are worst seems to be in little streams with lots of folige. Exactly wh erethey were panning. Like along the Alcan Highway. Next time you are up the Watson Lake area along the Alcan go into a little brushy area and take your pants down and see what happens-lol. Remember it rains all summer up there. On the north slope the whole reason the birds migrate there is so their chicks can feed on the preponderance of insects. Moskitos are not the worst they are number three behind no see ums, and black flies. The coastal areas are pretty free of insects although places like dillingham have so many no see ums gardening is hard. The Eskimos controlled the entire coast of alaska and quite aways up the big River Valley's where they ran into the ocean, like the Yukon and Kuskokwim. Aleutes the Alutians and Tlingit/Haida Southeast.

EC, you must always travel in areas that freeze frequently. The Lower Mainland and parts of Vancouver Island, even the dry parts of the Okanagan are fairly bug-free, but anywhere else it's got to be frost. I've been eaten alive from one end of the province to the other, be it on the ocean, up a mountain, or anyplace in between. I could still show you the two pits from when horseflies took bites out of my right arm a few years ago when I was hiking up near, well, a little closer to Likely but not far from Horsefly, in the Cariboo. Mind you, there's nothing I've seen in BC anywhere near as bad as, say, the 50-foot-tall mosquito clouds out in the St. Lawrence south of Montreal, or the forboding sound produced by your own personal flying escort of blood-suckers, audibly buzzing in anticipation, that unrelentingly dog any living being during the brief summer of Winnipeg after it rains.
