Loon Lochsa Dry Fly Floatant

Loon Lochsa is a premium gel floatant designed for treating dry flies and maintaining maximum buoyancy during fishing. Developed to work with all types of dry flies, including CDC patterns, it provides reliable water repellency without clumping delicate fibers or affecting the natural appearance of the fly.

Thanks to its advanced silicone-based formula, Loon Lochsa creates a durable water-repellent barrier that keeps flies riding high on the surface for longer periods. The formula remains temperature stable, maintaining the correct consistency in both warm summer conditions and colder weather.

Proper use of floatant is an important part of dry fly preparation and maintenance. Applying floatant before fishing improves buoyancy and helps extend the effective fishing time of the fly.

What is Loon Lochsa?

Loon Lochsa is a specialized dry fly floatant designed to improve water repellency and maintain fly buoyancy. Unlike many standard gel floatants, Lochsa is formulated to work safely with delicate materials such as CDC feathers.

CDC feathers have natural oils and a unique structure that provide excellent buoyancy, but they can easily become clumped when treated with unsuitable products. Lochsa helps preserve the volume, movement, and natural behavior of these fibers.

The floatant can be used on feathers, hair, hackle, and synthetic materials, making it a versatile choice for a wide range of dry fly patterns.


How to Use

Apply a small amount of Loon Lochsa to the dry fly before the first cast. Gently spread the product with your fingers, treating the hackle, CDC feathers, or other buoyant materials.

If the fly becomes waterlogged during fishing, first dry it using a desiccant or drying product, then reapply floatant before returning the fly to the water.

TIP FROM FlyFishing.bg

A good dry fly starts with proper maintenance. Loon Lochsa is especially valuable when fishing CDC patterns, where ordinary floatants can change the behavior of the fly. Applied correctly, a small amount is often enough to restore the fly's ability to ride high and remain effective on the surface.
