Ole Time Woodsman Fly Dope Review

America’s First Fly Dope! The New England Original. We’ve brought back the original 1882 Ole Time Woodsman Fly Dope Formula…Contains no DEET. Whether you call it Ole Woodsman, Old Woodsman, Old Woodsmans or Old Woodsman’s or just plain Fly Dope, one thing is for sure… it really works! While fishing in Maine in 1910, Obie Sherer and his fishing buddy, Dr. Donald Adams decided they needed to come up with something to make spring fishing in the Maine wilderness a little more enjoyable. Working from an old 1882 recipe, they mixed up a batch of Fly Dope. On their next trip to Maine, a logging crew spotted Obie fishing peacefully. Obie told the foreman all about his Fly Dope and agreed to make a batch for the company. When the first batch was used up, the woods crews clamored for more. As a result, Obie decided to go into business and named his new product “Ole Time Woodsman” in honor of his first customers. Since then, generations of outdoors folk have continued to rely on Ole Time Woodsman to make their wilderness experience more comfortable, peaceful and memorable.
