Has anyone tried scenting when casting (not trolling)? Does it work, or just give you stinky fly boxes?

Doesn't sound like fly fishing to me.
I agree with D3S. If you want to fish bait, fish bait.

Don't do it. It isn't needed anyway.

One of the most under utilized tips in the fly fishing. I always scent the head of my fly and up the tippet a few feet, never on the body of the fly, where legal to do so. Just use the appropiate scent for the species being targeted, be it freshwater lakes, rivers or the salt. At the end of the day wash your flys with some lemon joy dish soap and let dry before returning to your fly box.

Ive never found that I need scent to catch fish on flies......ESPECIALLY for silvers and cutties in the salt!!!!! They are usually beyond extremly aggressive and will smash a baitfish the second they see it.
