I’ve used this dry shake for several weeks now and it works perfectly. My dry flies that sink in the water are now floating again after just a few shakes. The dun color adds a nice natural look to my flies in the stream.

It’s a small but effective tool. I shake each fly before casting and it keeps them from sinking. The color enhancement is subtle but noticeable in the water.

This product saved me during a rainy day when my flies were soaked. After shaking them, they floated right away. No need to replace them. Great value for anglers who use dry flies regularly.
