[font "Arial"][black][size 4]with out a doubt scents will work,
you need to watch your areas, just like the Goddess says not only are there areas only restricted to artificial flies only, (means no oils of fish allowed) there are times of the year that can regulate your being able to use them or not.
how to apply, [/size][/black][/font] [ul] [li][font "Arial"][black][size 4]put a drop on your thumb of your hook holding hand[/size][/black][/font][/li] [li][font "Arial"][black][size 4]with your index finger and middle finger spread it around[/size][/black][/font][/li] [li][font "Arial"][black][size 4]gently wipe off excess on your towel.[/size][/black][/font][/li] [li][font "Arial"][black][size 4]handling your fly is enough to place a scent on your fly.[/size][/black][/font][/li][/ul]
[font "Arial"][black][size 4]as for being taboo, well that depends on who you ask, I have seen fly fishers who swore at me for the use of a piece of earth worm when the live bait season opened in my area, and the following year when I walked up on the same angler a hundred feet on dry land foraging for what ever grubs they could find before live bait season opened, I would just shake my head in disgust and keep going.
Just remember the teachings of Hank Hill & Jiminy Cricket, "Cheater Bait is just that, CHEATER BAIT" and "Let your conscious be your guide" and by all means follow the rule book, it is really there to help you have fish next year and the years following[/size][/black][/font]
