Can I use PTFE tippet for dry flies? Or is it exclusively for nymphing and
wet flies? How do I get it to float? Gink/Aquapel? Thanks Group


While I use it mostly for nymphs, I have switched to dries and used it
successfully. I put a floatant on it up to about4 or 5 inches from
the dry fly. It is stiffer than mono and some folks say they have
trouble turning it over because of this. I have not experienced any
difficulties using it with dries.
