Old Tyme Woodsman's Fly Dope. Sold and made in Maine, not easy to find, probably because no store wants the stinky stuff on the shelf. I think the main ingredient is some kind of super reduced pine tar but I could be wrong. There are cabins in some of the old fishing camps in Maine that absolutely reek of the stuff. But there is a reason - it is the only things that works on black flies when they are at their worst. It is banned in my house however. If you're brave and live alone (!) you may want to try some. I doubt it's as bad for you as DEET may be however.
