No, the product is clear when it is applied and when it dries. When I first saw it, it was tied on by a guide in Montana. I was told to cast it after dipping it in FlyAgra. There is no need for drying.
Muclin pucks and Coleman white gas are all that is required. Making it is extremely inexpensive.
There's not much that can be done about it, in my opinion. br>br>Best wishes

Selected User Reviews For Yellowstone Fly Goods Fly Agra Floatant
This is a fantastic product, but it's not one you'd use while fishing on the river. br>br>I get all my flies, dip them in, and let them dry completely before a big trip! It does exactly what it should. br>br>Please let me know if this review was helpful by clicking the "Helpful" button below it.
Pros: It is true that the substance is floatable. If you dunk the fly in this before releasing it into the water, it will float for the rest of the day and even after it has been chewed up. It works well in choppy water early in the season.
Cons. It has a kerosene-like odor, which I believe is detrimental to the fish. I'm not convinced it's good for the environment. br>I'll keep what I bought and use it in extreme situations, but this bottle will most likely last me for years. I still prefer my old standby and would rather tie a small amount of foam in the body than use this. I really want to like this stuff because it floats, but it makes me feel like I'm fishing with diesel fuel.
That's because it's only Naptha. Naptha is a lacquer thinner similar to acetone. Lowes or Home Depot sell it for $9 a quart. The company that manufactures Fly Agra is selling naptha for $200 per quart! This isn't the first time that naptha has been used to make money. It's used by a company as a stain remover "miracle. " For 8 ounces, it costs around $10. I figured you'd be interested in knowing. Instead, go to your local hardware store and get some Naptha.
Your fly will float like a cork with this stuff on it. However, it easily stains waders and discolors and irritates your fingers after a long period of use. Also, unlike Gink, it is not a quick application. You dip the fly and let it dry for a while; it lasts longer than a link, but you'll be impatient if you have to switch flies while they're all rising around you.
Nothing I've ever used is more effective at keeping flies afloat than this. However, it has a faint odor of white gas. In an emergency, it could most likely be used to start a fire.
From a floatant standpoint, flyagra is the best product available; on the plus side, it's great at what it's supposed to do. Flies are kept afloat by this method. The disadvantage is that, due to the small amount of petroleum product it contains, it is not the most environmentally friendly option.
It takes a long time for this stuff to dry, hours in fact, and it will stain your clothes. It's obviously made of some kind of gas because it smells like one, but man, it keeps your flies floating all day. I just wish it dried faster so you could get your dry flies out there sooner.
This stuff works like a charm. I'm glad I came across it! I accidentally bought two, but it worked out because I keep one bottle at the vice to treat the flies I've tied, and the other in my fly pack to take to the river.
