Frog's Fanny is, imho, a great boon to the flat water fly fisher ( not so
flat, too ), but it is pricey.

I oscillate between wanting to support whoever is packaging it, because they
have improved my fishing and deserve support .... and wanting to find the
same stuff cheaper

I vaguely remember ( about the only type of remember I experience at my
age ) seeing something, somewhere, about the same material packaged for a
different market .... I'm not the least sure it was on ROFF, but if you know
of a different way to obtain this cool stuff ...let me know, please .....
and thank you, in advance




I share your feelings on this. But I'm a cheap SOB and found Frog's
Fanny pricey because I do go through alot.

I bought a large bag (probably enough to fill 100s of containers) for
$20 at a local fly shop. They told me it was toner. Snoop however, says
that it is an agent they use in fiberglass construction. He used to
build custom airplanes and had used it in the past. Hopefully he'll
comment on this. It is definitely NOT silica gel

No matter where you get it, it is great stuff.

Has anyone tried the trick of using it on nymphs or wets? I keep meaning
to try it during some caddis activity, but always forget.
