I’ve used this floatant on my dry flies after they get wet in the rain. Just a few shakes and they’re dry and ready to go. Works even when the tippet is still on. No clumping, unlike other products I’ve tried.

Great for quick reconditioning. I keep a small container in my fly box. It’s especially useful during rainy days when flies get soaked.

The powder is fine and easy to use. I’ve tried several floatants, but this one stands out for how well it handles slimed flies without residue or clumping.
