Collection: Floatants and holders

Keep your dry flies riding high on the Roaring Fork, Frying Pan, and Colorado River with the right floatant for every situation. From gel floatants applied before the first cast to desiccant powders that revive a slimed fly mid-session, we stock the products that serious dry fly anglers rely on.

  • Gel Floatants (Gink, Loon Aquel) — Classic waterproofing for hackle and dubbing. Apply before fishing; a little goes a long way.
  • Desiccant Powders (Frog's Fanny, Loon Top Ride) — Shake, blow, and fish again. Essential for high-use patterns like Parachute Adams and Elk Hair Caddis.
  • Liquid Floatants — Penetrating formulas that treat CDC and delicate materials without matting fibers. Ideal for emergers and soft-hackles.
  • Shake & Float Bottles — Desiccant and floatant combined. Drop in the fly, shake, and go — perfect for guides and fast-moving anglers.
  • Floatant Holders & Retractors — Magnetic holders, clip-ons, and retractors that keep floatant within reach on your vest or lanyard.
