I switched floatants for my latest trip. I had been using SA type silicone thick liquid. After reading the Ginks description at Cabela's I bought some to use. It seems to work well, the flies float higher and longer. However and herein lays my question.

Do floatants have an off-putting scent or taste? Perhaps one of the most engaging and exasperating things about our sport is the immense number of variables. It seems I had MANY more bows ?mouth? my fly, or hit it a release it than I recall. I say recall because I do not keep any kind of record or this type of take (really a non take). It just seemed like a lot more of this than I ever remember.

Is it just me or do y?all have any similar experiences? What floatant do y?all recommend?
