The Idaho Fishing Trip: Freedom of the Road 2007
South-central Idaho is the perfect place to fuel a Rocky Mountain tour with bait and tackle. Anglers bring a sense of purpose to backcountry camping trips: They just have to drop a line in the nearest fishing hole. Whether they return with the next meal or not is almost beside the point.

The Amadou
Amadou accessory to dry flies for fishingThis little accessory may be a little unfamiliar to some or familiar to others but let me explain what it is. It is used to take out moisture from a waterloggoed fly but particulary flies that are tied with feathers that come from the oil gland area of ducks and should not accept the floatants on the market. These oil gland type feathers are known as CDC feathers: cul-de-canard feathers. They are waterproofed by nature and they are the best feathers you can get for tying flies as they look incredibly lifelike when they are in the water.

The amadou is a natural material made of a tree fungus… it is extremely absorbent.
