Just an 'after trip' comment from me - there were hardly any bugs - don't bother with bug spray.

But that's because we camped at 'consolation' lake.

There were bugs at Outpost Camp, where we stopped for lunch, but they weren't the 'cover your body in deet' variety.

I've lived in the tropics, so I usually won't go near DEET unless it's tropical levels of bad.

In my mind, it's not worth it, as even a small bottle of leaking DEET will completely ruin your entire pack - it eats through plastic.
