Advantages and key strengths of Devaux O'FLY CDC Floatgel :
Devaux Floatgel optimizes flotation even in strong currents thanks to its CDC-specific formula. Its texture allows precise application without weighing down or altering the fly's presentation, ensuring maximum realism to entice educated fish. Floatgel prevents feather fouling and allows repeated surface passes without loss of effectiveness. You thus benefit from unmatched discretion and prolonged life of your rigs, a considerable advantage during demanding fishing sessions.

Usage tips and recommended rigs :
For optimal performance, apply a small dab of Devaux O'FLY CDC Floatgel directly to the body and wing feathers of your dry fly, gently working it in with your fingertips. Be careful not to over-apply to preserve the lightness and natural appearance of the tying. This gel is particularly recommended for CDC flies (cul-de-canard feathers), but also works perfectly with rooster feathers and rigs using other floating materials. For technical surface fishing, favor a fine tippet to enhance the discreet presentation achieved with Floatgel. Ideal for river, stream, or lake fishing in any season.
