Hi quantum. Great to have you stop by. I am in fact a fellow ‘physicist’, so it’s nice to see there are other such folk into flyfishing.

I’ve heard similar such things about repelling midges also… But I find that you basically just have to wear a ‘midge net’ or not bother fishing when they’re really bad.

Improved smell, eh? I read somewhere (a discussion board somewhere perhaps?) that some fellows who live up north of me a bit (that translates to a 4-5 hour drive north for those unfamiliar with Maine) don’t shower most of the summer since, apparently, natural body odor repels mosquitos (of course, I never encountered any mosquitos in Scotland, but there were plenty of midges). Also, apparently, the spouses of said fishermen force them to sleep on the couch most of the summer. I, on the other hand, simply use copious amounts of DEET (of course, I may die a hideous death from all that DEET sometime, but, for now it works…).

Well tom let’s just say there are one or two things in the pipeline…

Thanks for the comment ‘flyfishertec’. I like your site, and I’ve added a link from my blog.

Congrats on the 10,000 mark. Given your writing skills, you should follow the Stand of Majesty with something darker and edgier — maybe The Fly Rod of Futility or The Nymph of Armageddon.

We’re just saying is all.
