Scents?

[Discman]

This is great!! I didn't think by asking this question I would stir up this much controversy. For the record, my opinion is that I don't think I would ever use a scent on a fly. I would, and do, however put a little scent on my hands as a mask to my own scent. Especially if I rode my bicycle out to fish. Whenever I do, I tend to get a little grease on my hands and I have always heard that trout shy strongly away from any petrolium type smells. Thank you all for your responses. I do agree with some of you about what another fisherman (or Fisherperson) does is their business. As long as they are not breaking any rules, poaching, barbed flies where not accepted, fishing before opening season, leaving piles of mono around (which I will gladly get in someone's face about), etc., everything's fine. It's nice that, just because we use different techniques, we are all still after the same goal and we can fish along side each other in harmony. Just don't walk into my casting!! []

Keep your hooks sharp, Kyle
