I've tried several products but the only thing that really
works is Deet. Deet will melt a plastic fly line and render
any fly it touches totally unusable for trout fishing, but
it's the only insect repellant that works. I buy 100% Deet
in spray-on bottles so I can spritz it on without getting
it on my hands.
If the stuff you get works on dense swarms of black flies,
clouds of mosquitos and countless no-see-ums as well as
Deet, I'd be very surprised but interested in giving it a
try. After you. ;-)
