Semperfli Desert Dust
Desert Dust comes with its own brush. Simply drop your fly into Desert Dust or use the brush to dust over the fly and work the desiccant well. Desert Dust will dry all of your flies including CDC flies very quickly and enable you to fish with wet CDC flies very quickly.
NOTE: Flies are not included
Desert Dust was developed with two compounds: a hydrophobic powder identical to Frogs Fanny, plus a unique compound that adds UVR (Ultra Violet) to your flies. Many floatants, especially petroleum-based products like Gink, reduce UVR on flies by over 10%. Even non-CDC flies benefit from the UVR compounds in Desert Dust.
Using Desert Dust is a Breeze!
- Drop the fly into Desert Dust or use the included brush to apply evenly.
- Work the desiccant into the fly until it dries completely.
- Ready to fish with wet CDC flies in minutes.

James Buckland –
I’ve tried several floatants, and Desert Dust stands out. The fly dries fast and the UV boost makes my CDC flies more visible in bright light. The brush is handy and easy to use. No more waiting around for flies to dry.
Olivia Duncan –
Works well with both CDC and dry flies. The UV effect is noticeable when fishing in the sun. A little more consistent than other floatants I’ve used. The drying time is impressive.
Gordon Harris –
Great for quick setups. I use it before every trip. The fly stays dry and looks clean. The included brush makes application smooth and efficient.
