Floatant

Keep your dry flies riding high with premium fly fishing floatant from Freestone Fly Shop. We carry gel floatants, liquid treatments, and powder desiccants designed to improve buoyancy, maintain natural presentation, and extend the life of your flies.

Whether you’re fishing delicate mayfly hatches, foam terrestrials, or dry-dropper rigs, the right floatant helps maximize visibility and drift performance. Our selection includes dependable, easy-to-use formulas built to perform in changing river conditions—so your flies stay floating longer and fishing effectively.

Helpful Information

Essential tools include nippers or line cutters, forceps for hook removal, strike indicators to detect bites, floatants for dry flies, and hook sharpeners to keep hooks sharp and ready.


Rinse tools and accessories in fresh water after use, dry thoroughly, and store them in a tackle box or gear pouch to prevent rust and wear.

Accessories like nippers, forceps, and indicators improve efficiency, protect your gear, and help you present flies more effectively on the water.
