Buy the Frog's Fanny you cheap *******s !!

I've got nothing against bargain hunters, but how do folks manage
to get it into the bottle? (I assume you use an old Frog's Fanny
bottle or something similar.) That stuff won't even hold still
getting it *out* of the bottle.....

(who confesses to, among other things, buying Amadou in large
sheets from foreign suppliers in order to save a little money...)



OK, I confess to having bought three large sheets of Amadou
from Switzerland myself. But, and this is a big But, living
in East Central piddle**** I have no local fly shop and the
online fly shops I frequent, Uncle Wally's ezflyfish and
Feather Craft in St. Louis, don't carry Amadou.

FWIW, a large sheet of Amadou can be cut into 4 pieces of the
right size for stuffing into a vest pocket. So I figure I now
have a 12 year supply, but I always end up giving some away.
