The only thing that I've found to work is DEET. Anything else is a waste of putting a carcinogen on your skin - it might as well be worth it.

They sell bottles of >95% DEET. Of course, it will dissolve your line and any other plastic, but it does work. They may still buzz around, but they probably won't bite.

I tried a head net a few years back. What I learned was you can't see in the dark if you have a black net over your face. On that same trip, I learned that gloves don't necessarily work. I had about 25 skeeter bites on each hand through kayak gloves.

Wind is nice, at least half your body will be bite free.
