Loon Blue Ribbon Dry Fly Powder Floatant
Loon Blue Ribbon is a fine powder floatant for dry flies, specially designed for small and delicate patterns where maintaining natural movement and a lightweight profile is essential.
The clean dry formula absorbs moisture from fly materials and creates a fine water-repellent coating that restores buoyancy without leaving a greasy residue on the water surface. This makes it an excellent choice for CDC flies and other delicate dry fly patterns.
Unlike gel-based floatants, the powder is applied by shaking and penetrates effectively between hair, hackle, and feathers. It is suitable both for pre-treatment before fishing and for quickly restoring buoyancy to used flies during a fishing session.
Loon Blue Ribbon is a versatile choice for dry fly fishing when delicate presentation and reliable buoyancy are required without changing the appearance or behavior of the fly.
