Tiemco Dry Magic

Silicone Floatant is a specialized product used in fly fishing to keep dry flies buoyant on the water's surface. Made from silicone, it creates a water-repellent barrier that prevents the fly from absorbing water, ensuring it stays afloat and mimics the natural movement of insects, which is essential for attracting fish.

Dry Flies are designed to float on the water's surface, mimicking insects that fish feed on. Using a Dry Fly can be more effective in certain fishing conditions, especially when fish are actively feeding on insects at the surface. They provide a unique presentation that can entice fish to strike.

CDC, or Cul de Canard, feathers are prized in fly tying for their lightweight and natural buoyancy. These feathers trap air, allowing the flies to float effortlessly on the water's surface. Their unique texture and movement also help create realistic imitations of insects, making them a favorite among fly anglers.

Drift is crucial in fly fishing as it refers to how a fly moves with the current. A good drift mimics the natural movement of insects, making the fly more appealing to fish. Understanding and mastering drift can significantly increase your chances of a successful catch, as fish are more likely to bite when the fly appears lifelike.

Umpqua Tiemco Dry Magic is a premium silicone floatant designed to enhance the floating ability of your dry flies. Its unique formulation ensures that your flies remain buoyant longer, allowing for more effective presentations and increased chances of attracting fish. Using this product can elevate your fly fishing experience by improving your overall success rate.

While Silicone Floatant is primarily designed for use with dry flies, it can also be applied to certain types of nymphs or streamers to enhance their buoyancy. However, it's best suited for flies that are intended to float on the water's surface. Always check the specific recommendations for your flies to ensure optimal performance.
