Just saw last night about a new repellent. It's from OFF-a clip on device that looks like it has a little fan or the likes. Might work of course if you are not real active. I hear the mosquito's are bad right now.

Thanks a bunch for posting the link. Fly fishing is my passion and it appears will be GREAT on the stream!

I don't know anymore about it than it is out there.
Thought it was worth a try.

Thermacell is another company that sells both clip on and regular lanterns - we have the regular lanterns and they do seem to work. I like them better than the off lanterns as they work on butane and not a candle so if it tips over no wax spill but the concept is the same.
