Fly Hackle
How come my Dry Flies dont float?
i use floating line foating tippet i use materials like Deer Hair and rooster hackle on my dry flies but they still sink
One mistake novice anglers make that can cause their dry flies to sink while fishing is they don't add fly floatant to the fly before fishing the fly. Many fish the Dry Fly first and then later add the fly floatant once they find it sinking during their drifts. You can help your fly float much longer if you apply the fly floatant right off the bat before fishing.
Also, how well your dry fly will float also will be determined by the flies overall size and what type of what your fishing. For example, if your fishing a small dry fly in fast riffles (Choppy or White Water) it is going to have a hard time floating no matter how much floatant is applied to the dry fly. In this situation your best option is to present or cast the dry fly further down the riffle where the water begins to calm down a bit. The larger the fly the better it will float in choppy or big riffles. The smaller the dry fly the less buoyant it will be.
Hope this helps. You can find more Fly Fishing tips like this by visiting my Georgia Fly Fishing Blog at www.kent-klewein.com/georgia-fly-fishing-blog/
