Repellant

I think anything with Deet, although I hate to use it as if it gets on your hands and then onto your lures and line and rod and reel, it could give off a scent that turns off fish ...

I have also found this stuff called White Mountain Repellent - got it at Surfland and it has citronella and that kind of stuff, so I will give that try, but have the deep woods off (sportsman's style with 40% deet) as backup just in case.

In South Florida, there's a small back-woods store in Everglades City that we would stop in when we went fishing in the Everglades -- mosquitos there are so bad they would fly up your nose, in your ears, etc., etc. -- that had a spray that had a plain white lable on it, but it was 100 percent deet. It was sick, in fact it melted my foul weather gear when it dropped out of the bag onto my gear ... but when these nasty creatures are so bad, you need something to keep them away.
