Montana Fly Company MFC High Rise Foam Cinnamon 2mm – Buoyant Foam for Dry Flies & Foam-Head Patterns

Overview

Montana Fly Company’s MFC High Rise Foam in Cinnamon 2mm delivers buoyant, easy-to-work foam that suits a wide range of dry fly and terrestrial patterns. The foam’s closed-cell construction helps maintain floatation and resilience, even when conditions get choppy. With six thickness options—from 0.5mm up to 5mm—this material covers everything from tiny mayfly posts and bodies to oversized hopper-style heads, offering versatility for both realistic imitations and bold, attention-grabbing designs.

Whether you’re tying a delicate post for a mayfly imitation or crafting a chunky foam head for a hopper, High Rise Foam is designed to cut cleanly, shape predictably, and stack neatly for layered effects. The Cinnamon 2mm color adds a warm, natural tone that pairs well with earthy naturals or bright attractors, helping you dial in patterns that stand out on the water.
