About our Amadou:
We produce Amadou sheets from many years, is an old family tradition started with 4 generations behind.In the old time this fungus was made by our great grandparents as a smoke source - they were beekeepers.By its slow, long lasting burning, this tinder made a strong, thick smoke that was used for removing or calming the swarms of flies when a person ingathered the honey. In the past, hundreds of years ago, before cotton was discovered, this miraculous material was used for surgeries as an absorber. People used it for cleaning and dressing the wounds unlike other textures that had a highly microbial risk, this one, by its modifying procedures used to get to the final form, became clean.
In time it was rediscovered as a strong absorbing material and fly-fishermen began using it more and more often for removing the water from their flies. Amadou is a word that for some fishermen mean a thing, but for others, it means saving a day of fishing.This Amadou is nothing else but a magical piece of material with a big water absorption power and which is soft and velvety at the same time. If you are a fisherman that loves to use dry flies and CDC flies then we highly recommend to use amadou sheets or amadou driers for your flies.
