I got sucked in and bought one, it is a conditional item. if it is calm with very little wind it will work. i have used it camping, hunting, fishing, and just general out door get togethers where people hate to swat at the bugs. i know a guy that likes to stream fish as you mentioned an carries two on his belt, honestly i wouldnt bring one if the wind was blowing or you would be moveing because that defeats the purpose. o and yes killer head ache / get eaten alive, is the trade off.
