Product information "Amadou (Fly Dryer)"

Fly Dryer for Dry Flies - The amadou is an essential tool for fly fishing.

Many products on the market are called amadou, but only a complex processing method creates this TRAUN RIVER amadou with consistent quality. The base material, natural tinder fungus, is carefully prepared, then mounted on high-quality leather and finished with a cord.

The porous structure absorbs moisture from a wet fly within seconds. After use, your fly is ready to fish again.

Size: 60 x 30 mm


Amadou is used to dry wet and slime-covered flies.

When false casting is no longer enough to dry your fly, especially CDC patterns, place it between the two sides of the amadou and press gently. The material draws out moisture immediately. Your fly regains its buoyancy and floats again as intended.

If slime from a previously hooked fish remains on the fly, rinse it in water before using the amadou. This keeps the material clean and effective.

The history of amadou, tradition meets function

The use of amadou dates back to early European cultures. Originally valued as tinder, fly anglers recognized its strong absorbent properties without damaging delicate fly materials. Amadou stands for durability, precision and proven performance.

Why drying flies matters

Wet dry flies lose buoyancy and fish poorly. With amadou, your flies float properly again after every fish or drift.

CDC Ballon Emerger

The CDC Balloon Emerger sits in the water surface and imitates a hatching insect. It is a very successful emerger fly pattern. Especially when the fish do not make a clear “rise”, then is the right time to fish an emerger. Usually you can see a classic "head and tail rise". The grayling and trout often feed directly in the surface film or directly below it.
