dry fly proofing/coating

Somebody mentioned a product for coating dry flies before you take them out on the river. But for the life of me I can't find it despite repeated searches. Can anybody else remember it?

Cheers

Hi Matt. Think this watershed might be what you are looking for. http://www.sportfish.co.uk/product/water-shed

 You need to apply it then allow 24hrs before using the flies.

Absolutely not knocking the idea but I'm a dinosaur and like to apply floatant  :z8
Dilly Wax for synthetics, gink for natural dubbing/ hackle (and synthetics) & dessicant for CDC

Hi Matt,

I believe I mentioned the floatant Nanocatch once, is that what you're looking for? Here's the site:

It's really great, the only floatant I use nowadays.
