a <*}}}}< is swimming along and comes up to your lure "HOLLY CRAP! I smell a DOG!!, I ain't conna bite that lure!"

#1, A fish don't know what a lure is!
#2, I'm pretty sure it hasn't seen a dog or was taught about one in school (A Fish school ) Har Har
So how would it know what a dog smelled like from a fart??
That nice fellow that offered you some anchovy scent, Did he offer you some of what he was SMOKING also??? I'd like some too!

Some people swear on using WD 40 on their lures, or sun tan oil. These are unnatural scents to salmon, but they seem to still catch fish? I think it all boils down to what makes you feel confident. Line, rod, type of snap swivel or how you wear your hat. Just get the lure in front of him and...BAMM!!!!
Remember..."He who cast the most, catches the most!"

Take your dog!
