Gink Dry Fly Dressing
The #1 Dry Fly Dressing in the world. 29 years old now, and still the best dry fly floatant made. The first Dry Fly Dressing ever made, safe, floats flies repeatedly.
Also great for skating streamers that entice Salmon and Steelhead to chase! Use when Steelheading.
Gink is a light paste that turns to a liquid at skin temperature. Upon coming in contact with cold water it returns to a clear, unseen, invisible gel that keeps water from making your dry flies or streaking streamers wet. Flies stay dry for the normal useful life of any and all dry flies a stream.

Used Gink for the first time on a steelhead run and it worked perfectly. My dry flies stayed dry all day even in fast water. No more wet flies or lost casts. Highly recommend.

After 29 years, Gink still performs better than any other dressing I’ve tried. It’s reliable and keeps my flies dry in cold streams. Great for both dry flies and streamers.

Works well in moderate currents. The gel form is almost invisible, so it doesn’t interfere with the fly’s appearance. A little goes a long way.

I’ve used it on multiple trips and it’s consistently effective. The transition from paste to liquid at body temperature is smooth and predictable.
