Loon Amadou Patch
The fastest way to change flies from soggy to fresh!
Amadou is primarily composed of a mushroom: “Fomes fomentarius”, and its primary purpose is taking soggy, water-logged, good-for-nothing dry flies and getting them ready to fish again. A simple squeeze between the two pads of this magical material sucks out water from a drowned fly, restoring its ability to float. Though it stands alone as a means of keeping flies floating, it is best viewed as a piece of the dry fly puzzle that includes some kind of dip or gel, and/or a powder floatant.

I’ve used this patch after a rainy day on the river. The flies were completely soaked and wouldn’t float. After squeezing the patch, they immediately regained their float. Works fast and reliably. A must-have for wet fishing days.

It’s simple and effective. I use it after my flies get wet during long trips. The water removal is quick and the flies stay afloat longer than before. A small but useful tool.

After trying several products, this one stands out. The mushroom material works well and doesn’t leave any residue. I now carry it in my fishing kit for every trip.
