New Dry Fly Floatant?

Postby flybob » August 17th, 2013, 11:21 am

Well, in my last post regarding floatant, I solved my problem of losing too many applicators.

Now I have a new problem, my new floatant bottle does not have a label on it! How will I explain to the river patrol that it is not some sort of illegal inhalant specifically designed for enhancing fly fishermans experience on the water?

So, as this is a custom formulation (one of the best I might add) developed by 1mocast, I decided to give it a shot at naming it and making a product label for the bottle.

I give you:

Now, just to make sure we are totally legal on this, I have received Mark's approval, that is, after he stopped laughing his behind off.

I think the label is a little big for the bottle, I will work on its size.

Mark suggested I come up with a warning label for it, something about fishing partners NOT standing down wind of Mark's Farts during application, and accidentally inhaling can cause burning eyes, light headedness and in some extreme cases, nausea and vomiting.

I don't know, maybe that is just TMI.....

I was warned about Mark's snoring, but did not know he possessed WMD's as well.

Wait a minute.... If it has scent attractant qualities, is it still fly fishing?

In this instance, it's called "fly bait". The stuff draws in blowflies, which in turn attract the fish. ;)
How do you tie the fly to your hooks without killing them with the thread? I keep cutting them in half.

I had a floatant called Fly-Agra. It was supposed to keep your fly up longer! :roll:

At the very least you need a flammability warning. You wouldn't want someone :fireangry: because they lit-up around an open bottle, not to mention the fire danger to our National Forrests.
I fish for my sanity. If I catch it, should I still practice catch and release?

That's funny...
Fish always lose by being "got in and dressed." It is best to weigh them while they are in the water. The only really large one I ever caught got away with my leader when I first struck him. He weighed ten pounds. —Charles Dudley Warner

I'm concerned that the production and use of MFFF will contribute to global warming.

Don't forget to debarb before insertion and application. ;)
