Cliff Float Patch™
Guide-tested by the Grey Reef Clifftarians, and used exclusively by legendary Bighorn River guide Kip “Snookie” Dean, our Float Patch™ has become a standard on western rivers.
Let’s face it – while floating in your boat or personal watercraft, you don’t want to take the time to dig into your boat bag and put flies away in their proper box. You just want to set them down within reach, in a place (hopefully) where they won’t get lost or blow away in the wind.
The Float Patch adheres to any flat spot on your boat, and in the wind it holds onto your flies like a bulldog. Think we’re kidding — it’s held onto flies while dragging a drift boat at speeds in excess of 90 mph on Wyoming Highway 220.
Small flies go on the stout magnet, and larger patterns are held securely in the padded section.

Used this on a recent trip down the Bighorn River and it worked perfectly. Even at 85 mph, the flies stayed put. No more losing patterns in the wind. Highly recommend.
Steven Metcalfe –
Great solution for floating. I’ve used it on multiple trips and it’s reliable. The magnet holds small flies tight, and the padding keeps larger patterns secure.
Vanessa Dowd –
Solid product. Works well in moderate winds. A bit harder to attach on curved surfaces, but still effective on flat areas.
Jack Berry –
After trying several float solutions, this is the only one that holds up in high-speed drifts. Kip Snookie’s endorsement adds credibility.
