Loon Outdoors Royal Gel™ Premium Fly Floatant
A premium gel floatant with a little extra shimmer for enhanced dry fly presentation.
Loon Outdoors Royal Gel™ is a slightly more viscous silicone-based fly floatant designed to keep dry flies floating high while adding a subtle iridescent sparkle that mimics the appearance of clear-winged insects.
Its temperature-stable formula performs consistently in both warm and cold conditions without leaving an oily slick on the water. The added shimmer can help improve visibility and create a more natural presentation during hatches involving delicate-winged insects.
Ideal for dry flies, emergers, and technical presentations where visibility and realism matter.

Owen Bower –
Used Royal Gel™ on a dry fly setup during a morning hatch. The shimmer helped the fly stand out without looking artificial. It floated steadily and stayed high without sinking or sliding. Works well in cooler water conditions.
Diane Sharp –
Good for delicate presentations. The gel holds the fly in place and adds a nice sparkle that matches the natural look of insects. A bit thicker than standard floatants, but that’s a plus for stability.
Justin Campbell –
Perfect for emergers and dry flies in early season. The shimmer makes the fly more visible during low-light conditions. No oily residue, and it performs well even in cold streams.
Warren James –
Slight viscosity helps keep the fly elevated. The iridescent effect is subtle but noticeable. Works better than regular floatants when targeting clear-winged insects.
