This past trip marks the third year in a row I have lost my Frogs Fanny Floatant Applicator!
This year, on the very first use on the creek, that darned little thing slipped out from between my fingers as I was dusting up my Stimmie Bob…….ARRRGGGGG!
For a split second I saw it in the water almost motionless, I almost dove for it, but thought better of it, just as the current whisked it away…..I am sure many of you know the feeling?
Fortunately I had and extra little ziplock in my bag, I emptied the contents of the bottle into it, it was awkward and messy, but it worked.
When we got to Mammoth, I hit the Troutfitter’s for a replacement…..
“Got any Frogs Fanny?” “Nope, just Loon Dust”…..ARRRGGG again…..that stuff is garbage and should be classified as a DE-Floatant!
What else was I going to do, I dropped the 7.50 for the garbage, as I did last year, and the year before!
So every year when I get back home, I get online and order another 4.00 bottle of Frogs F a n n y.
I was determined to not let this happen again, and every time I used it for the next 4 days, I was reminded of this, so when I got home I went to work scrounging around my shop and this is what I came up with. As I have plenty of these components, I may make a couple more, just in case the Zinger breaks…..Right?

Can’t wait to get it out on the creek and thumb my nose at those powers that seek the sacrifice of my floatant applicator!
