Hi everyone, I'm a newbie.  Never been to the BWCA but am planning a solo trip for next year sometime and have a question for you northwood veterans.

I've already got my gear list made, my tentative route planned (entry #47 and heading to Vista Lake), etc.  The only thing I'm really having trouble deciding is what time of year I'll go.  I'm going for a five or six day, base camp type of trip.  Long story, but due to my work schedule I won't be able to take my vacation after the middle of July, otherwise I would go in the fall.  I think a fall BWCA or Quetico trip would be the ultimate experience.  Some day.

Right now I'm leaning towards the first week of June.  Any problems with that time frame?  I've had a few people tell me bugs might be bad?  I can deal with mosquitoes but would like to miss the swarms of flying piranha (black flies) that I've heard so many horror stories about.
