Dry Fly Floatants

No comments yet

As part of the "From Vise to Water" series, in this episode, I discuss the various dry fly floatants that I use, specifically some used when pretreating and those applied on the water. Nothing is more frustrating than attempting to catch rising trout with a dry fly that won't float, thus I hope this video can be of benefit to all.

Thanks for viewing this YouTube fly fishing tutorial, and I encourage you to view my additional videos at the following website: http://www.troutandfeather.com

Feel free to leave any questions/comments on this YouTube page, or you can email me: tcammisa@gmail.com

The "From Vise to Water" series is a set of videos in which I take flies that I previously have tied on YouTube, and then discuss the next steps taken in order to successfully fish them. The flies featured in this episode, and their appropriate links are:

The GFF money box

… I have a small favor to ask.

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
