Hi All,
This is my first post to the community here so please bear with me.
I started fly fishing 4 years ago and recently have wanted to combine fly fishing with hiking. I've fished at a number of rivers here in Alberta (Old Man, Lil Smoky, Ram River, Wild Hay, and also completed a handful of day hikes but I've never actually stayed overnight.
Anyways, I am planning with a few friends to do the Kinglet Lake Hike (near the Two O'clock Creek Campground) on the July long weekend and was hoping you guys might be able to provide me with some info I haven't been able to find online.
1. Can anyone confirm that we do not require any special camping permits, etc to stay overnight? Simply just show up & camp? I have purchased a bear barrell / bag that I is air tight and I can hang from tree. Let me know if there is anything else in particular I might need, I've referenced this checklist.

2. Since we plan on staying overnight there, does anyone know what kind of temperature we can anticipate for this time of year? I've read two sides to the scale, one person saying it was -5 to -10 due to elevation and another saying 5 degrees worst case scenario. I may need to upgrade my sleeping bag or buy one of those Thermolite liners if it is in the negatives.
3. I read online that there is minimal deadfall up there and to plan for not being able to have a fire, can anyone confirm or deny?
4. I'll be catching cutties up there, if anyone knows any particular flies that worked out for you when you were up there, please let me know.
I've included below, a website with a brief description / photos taken of the hike / lake and the trailhead marker in hopes that it helps others in the future find the necessary info
