... my last comment may of been wordy but the point I was trying to make.. or distinquish is I wont use commercial scent (like fish oils etc..) nor do I use other attractants like powerbait on my flies.. that would be the same as using live bait on it..
.. I wont say I have not been tempted to use "something" to help in my lack of catching fish.. but like FG I cant bring myself to do that..
Scruffy made a great point that anise and other products mentioned may still be considered an "attractant" by the powers that be.. if that is the case then I wont use those either..
.. so to me it all goes back to what I originally said.. wash your hands.. even in the lake water.. and before using a fly I will drop it into the mud or whatever and then let it be rinsed in the water I am fishing.. to me that is the most natural way to try to cover any unwanted scents..
