High N Dry - Liquid Floatant - Þurflugu dressing
The award-winning Liquid Floatant was designed with special and unique materials and is the perfect floatant for those fly fishers that prefer to dip their fly into a container. This method of application is simple, easy, and fast and allows the fly to be completely covered with a barrier that keeps moisture out. It works well on flies tied with all types of materials (including CDC) and is especially effective to float large stimulators and hoppers tied with foam application. Just dip and cast. It contains no organic solvents, is 100% solids, and is environmentally friendly.
This is our favored product for any flies with a CDC body, wings or legs. Instead of blowing the excess floatant off the fly after a dip we like to attach the fly to a rubber band on the vest/pack hold the leader and let the fly bounce by tapping on the leader. This is a highly effective way to get rid of any excess dip and it makes the fly fresh and well prepared to catch. A few false casts also works effectively to remove excess moisture.
The High N Dry Liquid Floatant is not only a streamside product, if you tie your own flies and need a pre-treatment by the tying vice this dip is super! By the vise you want to let the dip get soaked up in certain materials like dubbed bodies and synthetics to enhance their properties further. For a selective application like this we like to use a Q-tip or a fine brush.
The floatant is delivered in a High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) bottle with a silicone seal in the cap. This packaging assures that the container will not leak all over your vest and cause a mess. The cap is attached to the container with a leash to allow the fly fisher minimum distraction when applying floatants. The wide opening allows even your largest bugs to be dropped into the container. A full 67 grams of pure floatant is provided in a 2.5 oz. container, instead of the 1.0 oz. (about 20 grams) provided by most of our competitors.
