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.

Funny thing an old guy showed me for no see ums and black flys is to rub Marigold flowers on your skin and clothes. It really works well. NO WISE CRACKS.

It does really work.

If you use a spray, give a blast to your fingers and use them to apply it to your face

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.
