I'm still using the Frog Fanny I bought two years ago but I'm
down to my last Amadou. I've not been able to find genuine Amadou
here in the states. The fly shops sell a synthetic version called
Samadou that doesn't work nearly as well.

Me too. The local fly shops still have amadou in stock, but I find
myself carrying only one piece of it. After a couple of hours of good
catching, the amadou is pretty soaked and I usually resort to using my
shirttail.


Although they're great for other things, that's the big disadvantage of
nylon and other synthetics. They also do a bad job of cleaning your
sunglasses.

Charlie, who stocks the Amadou locally?
