Loon Amadou Patch
Amadou is primarily composed of a mushroom: “Fomes fomentarius”. Its main function is to remove water from soggy, water-logged dry flies, restoring their ability to float. A simple squeeze between the two pads of this material draws out excess moisture, allowing the fly to regain its buoyancy.
While Amadou can work independently to keep flies afloat, it performs best when used in combination with a dip, gel, or powder floatant as part of a complete dry fly preparation system.

This patch saved my dry flies after a rainy day. I squeezed it between the fly and my hand, and they floated perfectly again. Works quickly and reliably.

I’ve used it several times after fishing in wet conditions. It’s simple and effective. I still use it with a light gel floatant for extra stability.

Great for recovering wet flies. No mess, no waiting. Just squeeze and the fly floats right away. A small but essential tool.
