Specifications
| Long Description | Orvis Dry Powder Fly Float Hy-Flote Shake-N-Flote Renew keeps your flies floating higher longer and it is easy to use and temperature stable. Unlike many floatants it won’t harden in the cold or melt in the heat. It also doesn’t leave a film on the water. This product has a unique way of making your flies float because you can stick it in the bottle, shake it around, and once again, your fly will float on top of the water where the giant trout feed. Caution may be needed in the event that such large trout are attracted that you may get bit yourself. 2-part powder contains: Water-loving crystals that suck water and fish slime off the fly, drying it thoroughly Water-hating powder that dusts fly fibers/hairs/hackles with a floatant that repels water so it stands up on its hackle points. |

Pros

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Requires a two-part shake application, so it is less immediate than a simple dab-on floatant.
- Best suited to flies that benefit from a dry powder treatment; it is not a universal solution for every fly or fishing condition.
- The product is designed to keep flies floating higher longer, but it does not replace careful fly selection or presentation.
- As with any floatant, results depend on how thoroughly the fly is treated and how often it is renewed during use.
