Yeah, it stinks alright. I leave them out in the open air for a few days and the smell seems to go away, but when I put them into a fly box and then open it up a few days later, it pongs again.
I tend to use flies that have been used before, as they don't smell as much. I have been known to smear them with scent on occasions in an effort to cover up the smell. I think it probably would put fish off otherwise.
