Possibly, but on a fishing note; their the sometimes huge black swarms of tiny flies that usually nag the s**t out of you while your casting :mad:

Dryer sheets huh? Seriously? hmm, never heard of that.

 

I use Deep Woods, but the only thing I dont like about it is that there are still those few brave flies that fly too close to you, and they often get stuck to you because of it. Your clothes, your bare skin, everything.

 

So I'm just looking for other alternatives.

 

I purchased a non-greasy formula of Deep Woods for the season, so lets see how that works. :???:

I use the OFF! fan that clips onto your belt.  It actually works, but only if you are stationary.

Hmmm, thought about those. But didnt seem all that effective to me. :???:

 

They work ok for you? Or is something still biting your ankles
