All depends upon where you're heading as to how big of a problem they'll be.

I haven't put on spray or netting all season on the Kasilof ... bugs are rarely a problem for us on the water. BUT, if you are walking through some grassy / marshy areas in some locales ... they can be as bad as any tale you've ever heard.

SH is right on ... DEET is no good for the no-see-ums. Swisher Sweets!!!!!!!!!!!!!
