How to Use Floatant for Effective Dry Fly Fishing

A handy tip for dry fly fishing enthusiasts on how to use desiccant powder and floatant to keep your fly riding high.
After you catch a fish, your fly can get wet and lose its effectiveness. We'll show you how to use a desiccant powder to dry out your fly, keeping it buoyant and ready for the next catch. Just dip your fly in the powder, give it a shake, and watch it fluff back up. A little application of floatant on the hackle will have your fly sitting high on the water, attracting more fish.
