I primarily fish with wet flies, most, intentional, some, not so intentional, like when my EHC gets soaked and let it go and still catch!
I recently came off a trip where dries were the order of the day, I mean really dry!
I always have a bottle of Frogs Fanny with me, so I used it, but it did not seem to work as well as what others were using.
I notice the flies of others sitting up hi and easily visible, while mine were just in the surface film with the post barely visible, and their strike rates were much higher than mine. I do not mind missed strikes, it lets me know they are interested in my offering, but when I am not even getting attempts, I begin to ponder especially when my fellow fisherman is using the same fly!
Same water, same fly, same presentation, only diff, floatant!
Questions to all you pros out there to help out a fledgling dry flier:
What is your favorite floatant and why?
Thanks for all your advice/inputs in advance,
Bob
