The yarn floats exceptionally well in still water. I’ve used it in several dry fly patterns and noticed a significant improvement in how high the flies stay on the surface. The shimmer effect adds a nice visual touch.
Donna Dyer –
Great colour variety and consistent quality. The crinkled texture helps the pattern stay afloat longer, which is exactly what I needed for my trout fishing trips.
Amanda Hill –
Works well for dry fly fishing in calm conditions. The yarn doesn’t absorb water and stays buoyant. A bit more fluorescent options would be nice, but overall very satisfying.

I’ve tried several brands, but Fulling Mill Ultra Dry is the most reliable. It floats high and maintains its shape even in light wind. The natural sparkle is subtle but effective.
