Loon™ Aquel™ Premium Fly Floatant
Loon Outdoors Aquel™ Premium Fly Floatant is widely regarded as one of the most effective dry fly floatants available and has earned the trust of anglers around the world. Designed to keep dry flies floating naturally and riding high on the water’s surface, Aquel™ helps maximize presentation while maintaining the lifelike drift trout demand.
Formulated as a premium silicon-based gel floatant, Aquel™ remains effective across a wide range of temperatures without melting in hot weather or hardening in cold conditions. The non-oily formula will not leave slicks on the water, making it especially valuable for technical trout fishing, spring creeks, tailwaters, and other situations where fish may be wary.
In addition to improving flotation, Aquel™ helps mask human scent and provides a more natural appearance on the water’s surface.

Alan Mills –
Used Aquel™ in a cold spring creek and it kept my dry flies floating perfectly without any slicks. The flies drifted naturally and fish were more responsive. Great for sensitive waters.
Nicola Vance –
Felt a noticeable difference in how my dry flies presented. No oily residue and they stayed on top even in fluctuating temperatures. Highly recommended for trout fishing.
Emily Churchill –
Works well in moderate conditions. A bit more expensive than other floatants, but the performance is worth it, especially in spring and tailwater environments.
Joe Powell –
Used it during a hot afternoon and it didn’t melt or break down. The flies floated smoothly and stayed in place. No smell or residue either.

Good for masking scent and keeping flies high. Not a substitute for proper fly selection, but a solid addition to my fly fishing kit.
