Hi Everyone,
Another recent which mentioned fly floatants gave me the idea for this post. I am interested to hear what you prefer to use for fly floatants?
Do you pre-treat flies, or use on stream Silicone gels, or both? What about Incandescent granules? Do you prefer not to treat your dry flies at all?
What about using one type for flies with particular materials (eg CDC) compared to flies that don't contain those materials?
I am not sure if the product names are the same there as they are here in South Africa so please forgive me if these product names are not familiar to you (I am sure they are though): I like to combine a pre-treatment like Loon Hydrostop with a Incandescant granules like Loon Topride. For flies using CDC feathers I do not pre-treat, but just use the Topride, because I have heard that CDC and Silicone floatants don't work well together.
What do you guys think?
