Few things are more frustrating than a dry fly that won’t float–especially when you know that it’s the right pattern that the trout will eat. Here’s a great tip from Hawkins Outfitters Head Guide Jon Ray, who shows you how to use a rubber band to make your dry flies float longer. What could be simpler?

Just awesome!
What brand of boat is that in the video? Thank you
I do this same trick, however I use the rubber band first to get the water off & then apply my frog’s fanny
Thanks for posting this video. I heard this tip mentioned on the Orvis podcast but couldn’t figure out how it was accomplished. Keep up the good work. The Orvis News is one of the few websites that I visit daily.
