So that means you would be a lousy fishing partner because I can smell you a long ways away!

I have swam enough miles and been in the water enough to know that I can't smell underwater. You can bet all the friggin' money you want and you, kind sir, would lose!

I think the fish "taste" more than smell but that is just my thought!

They only have a memory span of three seconds so it's more like you cant fix stupid.

How is any of this proven? That's my question of the day.

Exactly if their sniffers are 1000 times better then a dog that cant smell under water either. So doesn't that make it zero... :confused:

For the reality of fishing, fish can trace a scent very quickly. I don't think it is smell as we know it!

Living in active bear country, it is within the law to clean fish for a shore lunch and put the entrails into the water. I have done this and this act was in rapidly flowing water (entrails, head and tail of cut throats were thrown in the rapids). Minutes later, I caught a nice 5-6 pound dolly with those pieces in the stomach. It is a very good fishing trick and I have successfully used it on several occasions. Mmmmmm, shore lunches are soooo gooood!
