The Leeda spray is designed for the waterside.

One wee drop of Watershed rub it in(it will go soapy)and,let it dry overnight.You can gink them if required,but they probably wont need it

I always found it shyte.

one slight puff of wind and the spray goes everywhere but on the fly. I wonder how much of the product is wasted?

Must admit to being suprised to see it mentioned ,not seen it used for many years,certainly about in the 70s ,tried it then and not impressed.
Permaflote and Gink,or even fliagra are now my go too choices .Permaflote only gets used when I pre dress my mayfly pattern the days before using them.

Do like the gels as can dab it on the bits I want to float and the rest can be deeper into the film or total treated and float higher.
