... dont know about you sis but I would not consider garlic or anise a flavor as much as a scent cover.. I think there is a difference..
a flavor is designed to be an attractant.. something the fish will smell and recognize and is attracted to.. fish oils etc is what I am referring to..
.. garlic or anise or even a touch of honey (dont know why I am stuck on that idea).. or just running your fly thru mud.. or clover.. or grass is used to cover other scents..
maybe in the long run they are all one in the same.. but I do understand how you say you could not do that in waters where it is illegal.. especially on slow or bad days..
.. in my case most days I think about putting something on the flies.. piece of bait.. powerbait.. store bought attractant.. but like you I cant seem to make myself do it.. now if I switch away from flies then anything goes as long as it is legal.. [
