Steeldrifter 0 Report post Posted June 1, 2018 Those deer flies are a real pain, literally. During the summer in the boat I usually fish barefoot, always have them damn deer flies biting my ankles and tops of feet. 100% deet does seem to help but sometimes during the heat of summer constantly wear high level deet can make you start to feel a bit bad.
