Loon Lochsa Floatant
Lochsa is a premium all-around gel floatant that even works on CDC. It won’t mat dry flies made with CDC and is perfect for treating any type of feathers, hair, hackle, or yarn. Lochsa will provide maximum floatation without the slightest hindrance on appearance. It is silicone based, and won’t melt in the heat or harden when it’s cold.
Before first cast, apply desired amount of Lochsa to fly. Use fingers to work Lochsa into hair and hackle. If the fly becomes water logged, use powder desiccant to dry, then reapply.

I’ve used Lochsa on multiple CDC flies and it works perfectly. The gel stays clear and doesn’t clump or go gluggy. It’s especially good for dry flies in variable weather. Applied with fingers and it spreads evenly into the hackle.

Good performance on CDC flies. A bit more than needed sometimes, but it’s easy to adjust. Doesn’t affect the fly’s look. Would recommend for dry fly anglers.
