    Default User Friendly Bug Repellant


    BUGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Have to love the bugs that are out right now. Some are not a bother but others like the Buffalo Gnats and the mosquitos at night are awful on Nimrod right now. They do not bother me that much but they eat up my daughter who is my favorite fishing buddy. A good and very easy way to keep all the bugs off is to use plain old vanilla extract out of your wife's pantry. It is very inexpensive and smells good enough to eat so to speak. LOL but it is easier on the skin and washes off much better than other bug sprays and chemicals sold over the counter. Works well for us thought I might pass on a tip that has helped me in the past have a much more enjoyable fishing trip..

    Take good care of your best fishing partner, good ones are hard to come by. Imitation vanilla extract has been the best for me, especially buffalo gnats. Man those things eat me alive.

    I have not been tore up by bugs yet, because I have not been out in the evening when they really get chimed up. But it seems to happen every year I will forget what time of year it is and be soo into the fishing I forget about the bug ambush before dark, and they are eating me up bad before I know what hit me. I will try the vanilli

    Thanks for the tip. I would not mind using vanilla extract, but some of the commercial insect repellents bother me almost as bad as the bugs.
