Sounds good for maintaining social distancingBack in the day in the Adirondacks there was a fly dope called "Old Woodsman Fly Dope" that really worked to keep the black flies, deer flies, and skeeters away. It was also very effective at keeping people, pets, and any other living thing away. I just now found that they are making it again. It is so aromatic that you don't put it on your skin, just your hat, headband, bandana, etc. It was a staple for our fly fishing excursions with my dad in the 60's and 70's. https://predatorpeestore.com/old_woodsman.html
A little vapo-rub on hat, skin, beret keeps those deer flys away!
Where did you fish? Au Sable? I'm assuming it was for trout.Back in the day in the Adirondacks there was a fly dope called "Old Woodsman Fly Dope" that really worked to keep the black flies, deer flies, and skeeters away.

Ausable all through Essex and Clinton counties, St. Lawrence, Salmon River near Malone, a ton of ponds and lakes in the area. We also had a little brook (East Branch of the Little Salmon River) that ran through our small farm. It was full of native brookies.Where did you fish? Au Sable? I'm assuming it was for trout.
