[dropcap]W[/dropcap]hile it’s an improbability that you’ll carry around Thermacell’s Mosquito Repellent Lantern as you fish that canal, lake or river. It makes perfect sense aboard your canoe, kayack, in the truck that’s pulling your skiff or in your RV. Why? Well, the best fishing hours are buggy hours; dawn an dusk. This little lantern repels no-see-ums and mosquitoes in a 15-foot X 15-foot space up to 12 hours on one cartridge.
