They may be hot glue flies. I don't know if the glue floats though. It would be worth researching them though.....

Hope someone knows something..Sorry. I searched around and found a tip on making your own....

Here is a method of making egg patterns from hot glue sticks. An alcohol lamp was used instead of a glue gun, and forceps instead of a vice. First small chips of glue sticks are cut off on the tying table. Then the hook shank is heated and allowed to melt into one of the chips. This gentleman started with a clear glue chip. Then the chip was heated quickly over the flame until it melted into a bead. The hot bead was used to pick up a chip of a different color (a kind of cheese orange glue stick, available at most fly shops). The bead was placed over the fire again and the new color melted into the clear. Finally a bit of a red opaque color was used. The result was a very realistic looking egg, and the whole process was quick and very easy since the egg could always be re-shaped with just a little more heating if it didn't look right. When he had the result he wanted, the whole thing was popped into a glass of water to set the glue. Very slick indeed. Hope this might help someone...Steve

Fly Fishing is the art of attaching a fake bug to a line and relying on the appropriate manipulation of the rod to deceive the fish into eating a sharp steel hook covered with feathers and fur.
