Can I borrow some floatant dude? Where's yours? I don't know - I think it fell out of my pack somewhere on the trail. Well it's going to cost you some tasty beverages after we're done. Hmm.

See...if you had a Fishpond Floatant Bottle Holder, casually hooked to a cord loop or D-ring on your vest or pack, you wouldn't have been forced into such a deal.

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.
