ORVIS Hy-Flote Dry Fly Floatant Gel
ORVIS Hy-Flote is a high-quality gel floatant for dry flies, designed to provide reliable buoyancy and water-repellent protection when dry fly fishing.
The gel formula penetrates between fly materials and creates a fine protective layer that helps prevent rapid water absorption and keeps the fly riding confidently on the water surface.
ORVIS Hy-Flote is suitable for a wide range of dry fly patterns, including flies with hackle, synthetic materials, hair, and other constructions where dependable buoyancy is required without adding unnecessary weight.
The compact container makes it convenient to carry while fishing, and the easy application allows quick restoration of fly performance directly on the water.

TIP FROM FlyFishing.bgWhen dry fly fishing, the amount of floatant is often more important than the product itself. A thin layer preserves the natural behaviour of the fly, while excessive application can affect its presentation. |
