What's best for gnats?

[ccm]

Hi,
I am about to make my first trip to the marsh in a couple of weeks and I am looking for the best thing to help keep the gnats away. I have heard that
victoria secret amber romance works well but I wanted to see if there is anything new out there that might be better.

Thanks in advance for the advice.

Tight mesh bug suit... Hate fishing out of one, but hate gnats more ...

Thermacell's help, but if there is any wind blowing you can forget it...

amber romance and vanilla lace from victorias secret always worked for me.

Dryer sheet. Tuck it in your shirt collar

+1 on dryer sheets, I use the old ones and they still work great. I rub them all over any exposed skin then I put one under the strap on my hat (top of the bill) and use fishing line to tie it there if it doesn't have a strap and I do the same by the ears. I guess im hard headed but I cant stand those screen bags on your head so I rather stay home then use them.

I also stick one in front and back shirt collar and in each sleeve to keep em off my hands

for some reason I find they are attracted to your breath so it helps to wear a rag over your mouth and nose and it also helps so you don't inhale them

damn little invisible piranha make fishing tough on calm days

Amber Romance, have tried other things but can't beat it. Also Avon Skin So Soft lotion helps, just not as good. I worked 7 and 7 in the marsh for over a yr and that is what we used.

Swamp swatter i have never used but heard it works good. Its like 8 bucks a bottle..Dont know how much amber romance is..

[MattW]

Amber romance is $7.50 for a bottle 4 times the size. I will say, the stuff works. My fishing buddy's and I stopped at a little diner in Leesville after fishing Toledo and the waitress smelled just like us. I asked her if she was wearing Amber Romance, she said yes, how did you know? I told her it was my favorite...for bug spray.

I bought the swamp swatter it works but the victoria secret is a lot more cheaper. skin so soft works too. I'd get a misquito net for my head and wear a breathable long sleeve shirt.

bet ya were fishin in Lake Desperado

Seems the amber romance is the best bet. Looked on the Victoria's Secret website and there are lots of amber romance fragrances. Does it matter if it is a spray or lotion. Any advice on which one to choose? If I am going to smell like a stripper, I at least want to be using the right smellum.

Thanks again.
