I'm looking for recommendations for a bug spray that's:
1) odorless as possible
2) not gooey or sticky
3) preferably doesn't have Deet (which eats my watch crystal)
4) lasts for a couple hours at least
5) and keeps as many types of bugs away as possible.

Hope that isn't asking too much?????
Thanks in advance...
Doug

Cutters Advanced (no DEET) works for very short periods of time on
mosquitoes, but has no effect at all on blackfles. DEET is the only
way to go, and if the bugs are really thick, the 100% concentration is
the way to go. As another poster said, don't rely on the spray. I take
off my hat, watch and glasses, spray (pump, not aerosol) into the palm
of one hand, and cover all exposed areas. I then clean it off the
palm, to avoid damage to fly line, waders, etc, and put on the items I
removed. Repeat the procedure every few hours.
