Any recommondations on a good fly floatant? I have been using the old Gudebrod silicone based and it takes forever to dry. Any newer product recommondations?
You are welcome Terry, I hope it fits the bill. Floatant seems to be one of those areas that has a different satisfactory solution for different anglers.
Jerry, the condition I have, "anglosis" compunded with "ty-itis" is, apparently, incurable. I'll be forced to live with it the rest of my life
I had been using a dry powder product called Frogs Fanny for years. Works well and goes on dry. I was paying about $6.00 for a very small bottle. I learned that Frogs Fanny could be replicated with a compound known as fumed silica. I found a place on the web to buy fumed silica at $6.00 per quart. A quart is 2 lifetimes worth.
Dhooper, Great advice. But, are you saying you prefer the powder to a liquid floatant. Less mess? Does it last longer? Or is it just cheaper? I have been using Umpqua and Muscilin, and been very happy. Thanks, Gray
