Flies

[king of kings]

I've tried spray does not work the best way is to suck it up or wear pants

[Rippin'Line]

ankle socks. my hairly legs keep them away. haha

Cover your boat with mosquito netting

Everyone in our boat wears hats, when fishing gets slow its "who can kill the most flies time"

A great distraction that is usually broken up with

Fish on!

[shinintimes]

Let um bite when the fishing is slow it give's you something else to bit@h about

Ultra shield spray the boat they stay away

[Chaff]

Anything with a high % of DEET in it works the best. We have the same thing on Lake Erie

someone mentioned buggspray so I got two bottles and tried them. they definitely worked. reapply every hour or two and the flies land on your ankles and take right off.It's not perfect but the results were at least75% better than without.hope this helps

[MTpockets]

Ill put it out 1 more time ultra shield tractor supply has it

Use them for bait. Great for trout. You need to put at least three per hook. Must make sure they didn't bite any one on the boat . Human scent will scare the fish away.

On a hot/calm day there's not much you can do! Washing off any fish slime or sea flies helps. Buggspray helps (till you sweat it off), after 15 minutes. I spray listerene around and that helps. But nothing is full-proof unless you wear pants or thick socks. Imo

I use ambush, it is fly spray for live stock you can get it at country max. I spray the entire boat down in the am. It has a fragrance to so does not smell to bad. It works awesome, haven't had fly problems in over a month.

Ambush has the same ingredients and warnings/dangers as Ultra Shield . This one even says on the label  "not for use on humans " .  These insecticides are toxic to fish and will get into the water from spraying on your boat .

A spray with a high % of DEET works the best. Off only has 25 to 49 % there are other brands that have 98% . A little pricey 7 to 9 dollars for a small spray bottle. The more DEET higher price.
