Let Love Rule?!
Don't worry about the smell - just tie up some flies with the
well-preserved materials and then take a big whiff before you fish
'em.
That way it won't matter if you catch anything or not. Maybe they'll
drug the fish as well and they'll just hop up into your net without
even being hooked!
