[font "Pristina"][green][size 4][cool]Hi there Tids and welcome to the Fly Fishing boards. Yes you read correctly. In fact biological studies have found that a fish's smell is several hundred times greater than mans'. In fact even better than a dogs'. I have heard most attractants if not all are designed to cover up human and other scents. Think about all the different smells that you might add to your fly on any given outing. Shaving lotion, hand soap, sun screen, tobacco, gasoline, coffee [gassing up before your trip-boat or car] etc,etc. Hey it is difficult living in an environment where you won't come in contact with smells/odors that the fish might find offensive but you can keep them to a minimum.[/size][/green][/font]
