Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} DEET and Fly lines

I also really like the 3M Ultrathon that has a built-in sponge applicator. Just squeeze the tube to get a little but of the cream on the sponge and then wipe it on where you want it. No need to get it on your hands/fingers and less risk of getting it on the fly line.

Very bad news for fly line. 

So, set the rod down far away.

Spray DEET on the BACK of your hand and apply that to your exposed skin. Don't breathe that stuff.

Wipe it off your fingers.

yes, mosquitos will bite fingers...

Whatever you do, DO NOT wear any sort of band that is supposedly a DEET or insect repellant bracelet that is in contact with your skin. I did about 20 years and went into a seizure. It's a good thing my wife figured it out quickly and took it off my wrist.
