Fly Away Fly & Insect Repellant

Advantages: strong enough, value for money, not that smelly
Disadvantages: Not strong enough for serious jungle work

...I bought this product this year after previously owning the 100 deet repellent, which is far stronger. However i will have to say that if i had the choice against i would definitely buy the 50 instead and for the following reasons: 1. It is not as smelly as the 100 deet and therefore if you plan on walking into nice restaurants or just being with company in general you can get away from it, unlike the stronger stuff which makes you smell like a chemical plant. 2. It is far stronger than any home-brand names you get on the High Street and therefore i found that after a 3 week trip to a malaria infected area i hardly had any mosquito bites. 4. Although it is strong enough to keep all mozzies at bay with exception of the dreaded piri piri fly, it is not strong enough to really damage your clothes or make your skin feel... Read review

Advantages: We didn't get bitten
Disadvantages: can't be used in tropical areas

There is a lift off plastic lid so no danger of it spraying... Read review

Advantages: The knowledge of the fly
Disadvantages: Can get caught in weeds

...I am a fly fisher. I enjoy it much more than coarse fishing which is featured on the site. It takes time in pleasure my hobby and I have devoted many years to it ever since I was 7, I was so eager to learn. Fly fishing I feel is a great hobby and people should take it up. Flies are crucially to the sport, seeing that is what the fish is attracted to and how you catch it. *The fly first of all must be suited to the fish that you are wishing to catch (e.g. a rainbow trout is more partial to the brown and green flies, the 'pheasant tails' and 'dampshels nypmh'). *The type of water that you are fishing in (e.g. the clear waters of a well kept lake, the best colours would be white with black, white or yellow, the best fly for clear water would be the buzzer).On the other hand, the lakes that I am most fond of are the Lochs...
