Guideline CDC Gel Dry Fly Floatant
Guideline CDC Gel is a specialized gel floatant for dry flies, designed to improve the buoyancy of CDC patterns, emergers, and other surface flies. The formula provides reliable water repellency and helps keep flies floating effectively on the water surface.
The thicker gel consistency allows easy application directly onto the fly and provides long-lasting performance during fishing. It is an excellent choice for treating medium and larger dry flies, as well as emergers where dependable buoyancy is essential.
Unlike more fluid CDC oils, Guideline CDC Gel is especially suitable for use on the water when quick restoration of fly buoyancy is needed during fishing.

TIP FROM FlyFishing.bgCDC materials have unique natural buoyancy, but too much floatant can negatively affect their behavior. With CDC flies, using a smaller amount of product often provides the best results. |
