Does anybody have a repellant for these dang biting flies on KY Lake? (I'm looking for serious answers here.) I fished Friday and the flies were not too bad, but Saturday afternoon they were terrible. I know these are called "stable flies", and are a kind of housefly that can deliver a serious bite, at times even drawing blood. They really work on your ankles. Luckily they are not as bad around here as in other parts of our country, but at certain times on Ky and Barkley Lakes they can really ruin a good time of fishing. I've tried several brand name repellants (Deep Woods Off actually attracts them, I think) and nothing really works. Just wondered if any of you folks have really found something that really works to keep them away.
