Loon Aquel Floatant
This premium gel floatant is the world’s best fly floatant. Aquel is long lasting, silicon based and won’t melt when it’s hot or harden when it’s cold. Furthermore, it masks human odour and won’t leave any slick on even the calmest water. (Pronounced “ahh kwel”).
Before first cast, apply desired amount of Aquel to fly. Use fingers to work Aquel into hair and hackle. If fly becomes water logged, use powder desiccant to dry, then reapply.

I’ve used Aquel for several seasons now and it’s consistently reliable. It stays put in both cold mornings and hot afternoons without changing texture. The fly doesn’t feel greasy, and it doesn’t attract fish by leaving a slick. Great for dry fly fishing in varied conditions.

After switching from a traditional floatant, I noticed a big difference in how my flies behave. Aquel doesn’t go gluggy or break down in the water. It’s smooth, long-lasting, and works well even in still water.

It’s a solid choice for dry fly fishing. The application is easy and the temperature stability is impressive. I do have to reapply after a few hours in heavy rain, but otherwise it’s dependable.
