I've always made an effort to keep sunscreen, bug spray, tobacco etc away from lures and flies. I have a streamer box full of flies that got doused in sunscreen last year I thought I would have to chuck in the trash. You can smell the flies from 5 feet away. I used a few yesterday carp fishing and guess what? The fish didn't care a bit! Carp are supposed to have an exceptional sense of taste and smell. Anyone had a lure get contaminated and not work, or is it amyth like bringing bananas in the boat?
